Due largely to the socioeconomic isolation in the community of Santa Ana, Panama City, organizations Ciudad del Saber and El Conservatorio are seeking to innovate and drive social change in the area through entrepreneurship. One way to achieve this goal is by providing resources for microenterprises around the area on how to formalize their businesses. By using the design thinking method, our project team designed and distributed a pamphlet for the community of Santa Ana. This pamphlet included different resources and programs available for the community members to advance their businesses and described the benefits and drawbacks of formalization, saving and budgeting.
