Sine Safou Group

The Sine Safou Group consists of women from Palmarin Ngallou (Senegal), who are busy processing local soap after having undergone training and gained experience in this field. Given the high cost of local soap, we are requesting a loan to buy the soap ingredients (myrrh oil, caustic soda, shea butter, scents, dyes etc) as well as equipment (buckets, valves, molds, mixers), in order to process the soap properly and be able to sell it to people and thus combat dermatological diseases.

Le groupement Sine Safou est un groupement de femmes de Palmarin Ngallou qui s'active dans la transformation du savon local après avoir subi une formation tout en ayant de l'expérience dans ce domaine. Vu la cherté du prix du savon moderne, nous sollicitons un prêt pour acheter les composants du savon (huile de myrrhe, soude caustique, beurre de karité, parfums, colorants etc) mais aussi du matériel (seaux, vannes, moules, malaxeurs) afin de faire une bonne transformation du savon et pouvoir le vendre aux populations tout en luttant contre les maladies dermatologiques.

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
