To fight against hunger and poverty, five women from the Mbour suburb neighborhood united into a group called Dioubo. With a first loan of 2,500,000 CFA, they started a small business of selling fruits and vegetables in their neighborhood. Today, each woman manages her own business activities and the income from the business helps them take care of themselves and their families.
