"Association Femme Développement Entreprise Numéro 22" is a group composed of ten women. The youngest is 27 years old, and the oldest is 57. They live in large traditional extended families in the Grand Thiés district of Thiès, a city located 70 km from Dakar, the capital of Senegal. The women know one another through ties of community and kinship, and they do almost the same work, selling local grains. They are very experienced and in high demand in this field.


With regard to improving the quality of their services and expanding their businesses, the members of this reliance group decided to join the micro-finance institution IMCEC. They had received a group loan from IMCEC before and repaid it.


With this loan, the group members plan to replenish their stock of peanuts, monkey bread (the fruit of the baobab tree), millet, and onions that they will sell retail, cash accepted, at the grand marketplace of Thiès.


The group member hope to realize an average profit of 15,000 francs CFA in the course of this cycle. The profits will be used to make loan interest payments, to provide for the family, and to invest the rest in business.

Le groupe Association Femme Développement Entreprise Numéro 22 est constitué de dix femmes, dont la plus jeune a 27 ans et la plus âgée a 57 ans. Elles vivent dans des grandes familles traditionnelles élargies au quartier Grand Thiès, une ville de 70 kilomètres de Dakar, le capital de Sénégal. Elles se sont connues à travers des liens de voisinage et de parenté. Elles exercent presque la même activité de vente de céréales locales. Elles sont bien expérimentées et très sollicitées dans cette activité. 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 microfinance l’IMCEC. Elles ont déjà reçu un prêt de groupement auprès de l’IMCEC, et elles l’ont bien remboursé. Elles comptent utiliser ce prêt pour reconstituer leur stock d’arachides, pain de singe (le fruit de Baobab), mil, et oignions qu’elles vont vendre en détail, au comptant au marché grand Thiès. Elles espèrent réaliser un bénéfice moyen de 15,000 CFA ($30) au cours de ce cycle qui sera utilisé pour rembourser les intérêts du prêt, subvenir au besoin de la famille et investir le reste dans les activités.
