The group "The Progress" is represented by Mrs. Gloria, and comprised of 12 members including two sisters, Guadalupe and Maria Laura. The sisters, like the other group members, have small businesses with individuals incomes. The businesses include cosmetic sales, food sales, shoes and clothing sales. The business competition in the commercial atmosphere is quite high, but the dedication and drive to work help these women exceed the competition.

The final destination of this financing is for the acquisition of merchandise for the new season, and to improve and expand their sales stands. This will allow them to provide their families with a higher standard of living. In general, all of the group members have experience, thanks to previous financing from similar organizations like Agrocapital Foundation, who know about the responsibility and compromise required to receive economic support for businesses.
