Yaya is the man who is holding the ram in the photograph. He is a 49-year-old, uneducated farmer from Mali. He is married and has six children between the ages of 5 months and 13 years old, two of whom are in school. His wife is a housewife. Yaya has been raising sheep for over six years. He is a creditworthy client of RMCR. He is asking for a loan from RMCR to buy three rams and animal feed. He purchase [the animals] in neighboring markets and resells the animals in these same markets. The profit that he makes allows him to meet some of his family’s needs. He often encounters problems with poor sales of his animals. In the future, Yaya would like to become a large sheep producer and exporter to better meet his family’s needs.
