The coverage starts:
Imagine this – you live on the Nogales, Mexico side of the Border and you want to start a business. So you get a small group together of around 10 people and you go to the bank to ask for a loan.
Problem is – no bank in Mexico will loan you money.
Enter the Promex Group, a U.S. nonprofit out of Tucson that makes micro loans to entrepreneurs in the Mexican state of Sonora.
ProMex Group is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit that support microfinance organizations in northern Mexico to provide a sustainable alternative to illegal immigration into the United States.
