Aissata is illiterate and has been raising sheep for 10 years. She also helps her husband with his work in the fields. She is a citizen of Mali.
Wishing to attain her goal, she is asking RMCR for a loan to buy more livestock to resell more later on so as to have more income. She is fond of her business because it allows her to cover the needs of her children and to be financially autonomous some day.
Aissata’s ambition is to have a machine to transform livestock feed to expand her activity. Most of her purchases are made in her village or its surroundings and her sales are made at her village market. In her livestock-raising she has a problem with good veterinary care and good local products, and during the dry season she also lacks livestock feed.
