Gniry, age 50, lives in Mali. She’s married and the mother of seven children, four boys and three girls, aged 10 to 22. All children go to school.
Gniry is a housewife and she raises rams. She’s courageous in her business. In the photograph, she’s the one holding the ram by the horns.
Her husband is a tailor. Her income enables her to cover her family’s basic needs.
With six years of experience, Gniry borrowed money from the MFI to buy a ram, as well as animal feed and care products.
Her profits will enable her to develop her ram raising business and improve the health and sanitary conditions of her children.
In the future, she dreams to buy lots of rams to develop her business and increase her profits.
