Coumberou Sy is a shepherdess. Her main work involves raising sheep. She has been practicing this trade for a long time. She has spent her whole life roaming in the brush with her sheep. With each approach of the off-season, she buys sheep that she fattens for resale for the Tabaski holiday (Eid al-Adha). This is why she's requesting a loan, so as to buy sheep. The revenues derived from her business fattening livestock will enable her to buy provisions for her family and to repair her hut.
