The "Las Alegrías" group is represented by Matilde and consists of 13 members, mostly women who work selling products such as clothes, furniture, cosmetics, and food. Some provide services such as public transportation, cleaning, and gardening.

In the commercial sector there is always competition, so the group needs to work hard to make sure their products are of high quality. This is why they need the loan, to acquire more merchandise, materials and supplies such as tools for high-quality work and a more competitive product. Having better income will make it possible to provide their children with better education and a higher quality of life. In regards to the members' credit reports, it can be verified that they have good credit history and are considered punctual and responsible in making loan payments.
