The project

In Albertina’s ceramics workshop, women learn how to make handmade ceramics while earning an income. Albertina shares her knowledge and craftsmanship with them, helping them develop their skills and gain experience.

With a group loan from microfinance institution Avanza Sólido, Albertina was able to purchase new tools and protective packaging materials for her creations. As her business grows, she can create more opportunities for women to work and learn in her workshop.

For many women in southern Mexico, having an income of their own is an important step toward greater financial independence. Learning a trade and gaining work experience can help them develop their skills and create new opportunities for the future.

Avanza Sólido operates mainly in southern Mexico, particularly in the state of Chiapas. Many families in the region have low incomes and limited access to basic services. With your investment, more women can develop their skills, earn an income and work toward greater financial security.

Lives improved

Mexico is a country marked by significant economic inequality, with wide disparities in income, access to services, and economic opportunity. These gaps are especially visible in rural areas, where communities often face greater barriers to development and financial inclusion.

Avanza Sólido addresses these issues by providing microloans and training to small entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking services. By offering financial education and business management training, they help entrepreneurs stabilize their incomes and reduce poverty. Focusing on vulnerable groups, including women, youth, and indigenous communities, Avanza Sólido directly contributes to improving living standards and strengthening the economic resilience of these populations in Mexico.
