The ‘banc villageois’ that shelters this group was inaugurated in May 2001. This group is composed of nine women who work in commerce. Ms. Fanta, at the right in the photo with a hand raised, is the group’s representative. She is 59, a widow, and the mother of seven children, including three boys. She started this business in 1983.
With this loan, she is going to develop her business by stocking up with large amounts of vegetables. She is helping to cover family expenses with the profits generated from her commerce in vegetables.
In this group: Fatoumata Binta, Binta, Mouskeba, Aramata, Aminata, Fanta, Awa, Dienaba, Mariama
