The group "Poderosas" is represented by Mrs. Ana, and comprised of 12 members including Ana's nephew Alberto. Ana and Albert, like the other group members, have small businesses with individuals incomes. The majority of the group members have businesses that include cosmetic sales, food sales, groceries, shoes and clothing sales, and a soldering service. 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.

El grupo “Poderosas” esta representado por la señora Ana y conformado por 12 miembros dentro de los cuales se encuentra un parentesco familiar entre la señora Ana y el señor Alberto que es su sobrino, ambos poseen ingresos totalmente independientes por lo que no representa un riego para el grupo. Una mayoría de las socias se dedica a la venta de productos como la comida, zapatos, ropa, cosméticos, abarrotes en tiendas de barrio y al servicio de soldadura. La competencia en el ámbito comercial es bastante alta pero la dedicación y las ganas de trabajar son las que prevalecen ante la competencia. El destino del financiamiento es para la adquisición de mercadería, insumos, materiales y para la ampliación de sus puestos de venta que les permitirá generar un mejor ingreso para brindar a sus familias una mejor calidad de vida. En general los miembros del grupo cuenta con experiencia gracias a financiamientos en entidades similares a la fundación Agrocapital por lo que conocen la modalidad de trabajo así como la responsabilidad y compromiso que se requiere para recibir un apoyo económico para sus negocios.
