Kankou Kouyaté is a 46-year-old married woman and the mother of five children (two boys and three girls). She lives in a monogamous family with her husband and the children. She started working in commerce at an early age and (now) has thirty years of experience. Before joining the SORO YIRIWASO loan program, she had some difficulties running her business well because of meager working capital. With this loan, she expects to expand her business and to diversify it.



She gets her stock in Bamako at the Medina Coura marketplace from recognized wholesale merchants, and she sell it retail in Bougouni. She sells each day in Bougouni. The different goods are displayed in small piles or in small bags on a large table. Her customers are composed essentially of women who come to buy condiments each day to cook meals.



The turnover of her business is very high, and she realizes a monthly profit of 46,000 francs CFA. Thanks to this profit, Ms. Kankou Kouyaté ensures coverage of certain family expenses by helping her husband in particular.
