The 5 women of the Association Femme Développement Entreprise AFDE N°1 group have an average age of 40 and live in big traditional extended families in the Parcelles Assainies U2 neighborhood (Thiès region). They met through ties of neighborhood and kinship. They have almost the same business selling cloth and clothing. They are very much sought after in their businesses.



In order to improve the quality of their service and expand their businesses, the members of this confidence group decided to join the micro-finance institution IMCEC, with whom they are on their second solidarity loan (group loan). The preceding loan has been correctly reimbursed.



They intend to use this loan to buy a large quantity of fabric and clothing. The fabric and clothing will be sold retail, for cash, in the big marketplace of Thiès. They each hope to make an average profit of 30,000 F CFA during this loan cycle; the money will be used to cover the needs of their extended family, investing any remainder back into their businesses.



Their ambition is to expand their business inventories of cloth and clothing.

Les cinq femmes du groupe Association Femme Développement Entreprise AFDE N°1 ont une moyenne d’âge de 40 ans vivant dans des grandes familles traditionnelles élargies au quartier Parcelles Assainies U2 (région de Thiès). Elles se sont connues à travers des liens de voisinage et de parenté. Elles exercent presque la même activité de vente de tissus et des habits. Elles sont très sollicitées dans ces activités. Dans le cadre de l’amélioration de la qualité de leurs services et l’agrandissement de la taille de leurs activités, les membres du groupe confiance ont décidé d’intégrer l’institution de micro finance IMCEC avec laquelle il est à son deuxième prêt solidaire (prêt de groupe). Tous les prêts précédents ont été correctement remboursés. Elles comptent utiliser ce prêt pour constituer un stock important de tissus et des habits.
