The members of the Gnèmogognouman group, (eight women of which 5 are married and 3 are widows) are on average 37 years old with 4 children, and live as a majority in monogamous homes in FAMA, one of the neighborhoods of the city of Sikasso in the third administrative region of the republic of Mali.
They are working with the Soro Yiriwaso micro finance institution in order to satisfy the needs of their customers, and this is their third group loan, after correctly repaying the two preceding loans.
They sell seasonings, fruits and vegetables, cereals, and atiéké (granulated cassava root).
With their new loan, they plan to purchase 8 baskets of seasonings, 5 parcels of vegetables and 300 kg of atiéké. They get their supplies in the Sikasso marketplace and in the neighboring villages.
They sell in the various Sikasso markets and in the neighborhoods in a traveling manner, usually for cash and on rare occasions on credit to a clientele made up of men and women.
They each envision making a profit of 35,000 CFA francs, of which a portion will be used for savings and for family needs, and the other portion will be reinvested in their activities.
Some of them plan to help their husbands with the construction on their home plot in Sikasso and others plan to enlarge their business.
