The 5 women of the "Association Femme Développement Entreprise AFDE N° 7" group have an average age of 35 and live in big extended traditional families in the Som district (Thies region). They met because of living in the same neighborhood or being related to each other. They have almost the same businesses selling smoked and dried fish, palm oil, and cloth. They are much sought after in these activities.



In the desire to improve the quality of their services and expand the size of their businesses, the members of the trust group decided to join the micro-finance institution IMCEC, with whom they are on their second solidarity loan (group loan). The preceding loan was correctly reimbursed.



They intend to use this loan to stock up. Their products are sold for cash, in the market of Grand Thiès. They each hope to make an average profit of 25,000 F CFA during this loan cycle, which will be used to reimburse the interest on the loan and cover the needs of their extended families, investing any remainder back into their businesses.
