Mahamed is a livestock farmer of sheep. He is a Malian, 39 years old, married, and the father of two children, aged 2 and 5 years. He is the one holding the ram’s horn in the photo. His wife is a homemaker. He has been in this trade for three years. He gets his supplies of livestock at the markets in town, where he sells too.
He is requesting a loan from RMCR to increase his herd of sheep to fatten, so as to earn more money to cope with family needs (school fees and healthcare).
