This group has 10 members and was established in January 2003. It is comprised of very united women living in the same village. Their main activity is small business.
Ms. Françoise, standing with her hand raised on the right-hand side of the photo, is the group representative. She is a widow and the mother of 7 children. She runs a business selling fresh fish and pork.
With her new loan, she would like to purchase 25 pigs, which she will resell as retail in the sub-region, and two 25-kg baskets of fish, which she will sell as retail from her home.
The profits will allow her to pay for her children’s schooling, food, clothing and medical care.
