Borrower's mission
Vivaldi’s work involves managing and executing projects that strengthen hospital infrastructure and healthcare networks. Vivaldi are the conduit between NGOs, government entities and manufacturers, to get the right equipment, devices and services sourced, delivered, installed, tested at the site and do the after-sales support in local communities ensuring access to health.
Through their brand Amigo Corazón, they also specialise in preparing spaces and training people to respond effectively in cases of sudden cardiac arrest in Colombia. Their innovative approach is to not just sell in the equipment (an Automated External Defibrillator) but to sell a managed service allowing companies to focus on their core business while staying prepared.
Vivaldi is currently designing a Human Impact Frontier Fund which will make it easier to commit to projects quickly when the need arises as the prefinancing will be available to support them.
The activities funded by this loan are helping to achieve the above Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the UN.
Intermediary's experience with impact enterprises
For more than 9 years, Red Hat Impact has helped impact enterprises by raising capital and providing other kinds of business and strategy support. We have raised more than $3M from our network of impact investors, and loaned this capital to support 30 enterprises. We use a crowd-lending model to raise loan capital. As of May 2024, we maintain a 98% success rate on loan repayment. We establish close working relationships with all of the impact enterprises we raise debt capital for, and co-manage risks with them during the loan term.

Impacts and how they are measured
This initiative is part of a larger project to strengthen the health network in Perú and other countries, aligned with UNOPS programs. UNOPS has delivered more than 1,300 ambulances across different countries, building national emergency response capacity and reinforcing the resilience of health systems. The incorporation of pulse oximeters and related training, together with the other medical devices needed to have an ambulance ready to be used will directly enhance this regional effort, ensuring that ambulances are better equipped to save lives and provide reliable pre-hospital care. Without partners such as Vivaldi being able to deliver aspects of these health strengthening projects they would not happen. Success will be measured by getting all equipment installed on time, and training sessions delivered.
