Avanza Sólido 22
Maritza de la Cruz makes and alters clothing in Mexico. With a loan from Avanza Solido, she invested in her business. Thanks to Avanza’s health education sessions, she has also become more aware of the importance of her own health. “When I’m doing well, I can take good care of my business and my family, too.”

The project
Maritza lives in Terán, Mexico, where she works as a seamstress. Her work is an important source of income for her and her family.
With a loan from Avanza Solido, Maritza purchased more materials and a better sewing machine. This allows her to take on more work and fulfil more orders.
In addition to financing, Avanza Solido also offers financial training. During these sessions, Maritza learned how to better manage her finances. This helps her make more informed financial decisions.
Avanza Solido also provides health education. This has encouraged Maritza to think more about her own health and the importance of taking care of herself.
“I used to focus mainly on my work and my family, but now I understand that I also need to take care of myself. When I’m doing well, I can take good care of my business and my family, too.”
For Maritza, Avanza Solido’s support goes beyond providing a loan. She can invest in her business, improve her financial situation and pay more attention to her health. This contributes to better living conditions for Maritza and her entire family. Will you support entrepreneurs like Maritza in building their businesses and improving their living conditions?

Impact
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.
