Souleymane raises cattle and sheep and is the one holding the ram in the photo. He is 36 years old and lives in Mali. He is married and the father of seven children, aged from three to 10 years old. Among the children, one is a daughter, and one attends school.
Souleymane has raised livestock for five years. He buys and sells his animals in the local markets. He is seeking a loan with RMCR to expand his livestock farming. The loan will serve to support his family’s needs, especially related to healthcare, clothing, etc.
After his sales, he will be able to earn an average 30,000 francs CFA.
Souleymane has made his repayments correctly over the last three years as a client with RMCR.
His dream and hope is to become a large livestock farmer in his area.
