The women of the DJANTOYERELA 1 group, 10 in all, are married, with an average age of 35, 4 children each on average, and they live in polygamous families in Zoha, a village in the Sous-Prefecture of Fakola, Prefecture of Kolondièba in the third region (Sikasso) of the Republic of Mali. They met due to bonds of kinship and neighborhood.



When Soro Yiriwaso began to give rural loans which correspond to their work as farmers, these women seized the opportunity. They are on their fourth rural loan, and all three preceding ones were correctly reimbursed.



They want to use this new loan to pay for plowing and weeding, and to buy seeds, fertilizer, and herbicides. They want to plant 20 hectares of peanuts, rice, and millet. These women hope to have an average harvest of 2 tons per hectare, or 40 tons in all. A part of the harvest will be sold in the various weekly markets and the rest destined for consumption.



The profit after their sales will be used to reimburse the loan, cover school fees, for the health expenses of their children, and for buying wedding trousseaux for their daughters.

Les femmes du groupe DJANTOYERELA 1, au nombre de dix, sont toutes mariées, avec en moyenne de 35 ans, 4 enfants et vivant dans des familles polygames à zoha, un village de la sous-préfecture de Fakola, préfecture de Kolondièba dans la troisième région (Sikasso) de la république du Mali. Elles se sont connues à travers des liens de parenté et de voisinage.
Avec l’ouverture du prêt de campagne de Soro Yiriwaso, qui correspond avec leur activité étant paysannes, ces femmes ont saisi l’occasion. Elles sont à leur quatrième prêt de campagne, tous les trois précédents ont été bien remboursés.
Elles comptent utiliser ce nouveau prêt pour, les frais de labour, de sarclage, l’achat de semences, d’engrais et d’herbicides. Elles veulent cultiver 20 hectares en arachide, riz et mil.
Ces femmes espèrent sur une production moyenne de 2 tonnes par hectare soit 40 tonnes. Une partie de la récolte sera vendue dans les différentes foires hebdomadaires et le reste sera destiné à la nourriture..
Le bénéfice de la vente sera utilisé pour rembourser le prêt, prendre en charge les frais scolaire, la santé des enfants et acheter les trousseaux de mariage des filles.
