Thiaroye-sur-Mer is a city where poverty still rages. The population there is very voluntary and fight with every available means to get out of this unenviable situation caused by inflation and underemployment. It is in this context that the Bokk Diom group formed itself, aiming at working to durably improve things. The opportunity that's being offered by Kiva should not be missed, because it corresponds perfectly to what the group is seeking. The Bokk Diom group intends to take this opportunity and work soundly. The aim of this loan comes within the scope of the group members' desire to resolutely fight poverty within the city, and to promote their social and economic status. Bokk Diom intends to run various businesses, selling products ranging from fabrics to cereals and vegetables, fresh fish, fruits, detergents, and sewing. Each member has her own business that she plans to bolster and strengthen.

Comme notre groupement se compose de membres qui développent chacune une activité différente de l’autre, nous allons parler du groupe qui fait le commerce de tissus et la couture comme c’est la période des fêtes de la korité. Il ya aussi que nous sommes en ce moment en pleine saison de vente car c’est la période d’ouverture des classes et les parents d’élèves viennent s’approvisionner en tissus pour préparer la rentrée des écoliers. Tout va pour le mieux et nous arrivons à nous en sortir grâce au financement de Kiva. Notre groupe à réussi à faire des économies qui nous aident aujourd’hui à soutenir nos maris dans les dépenses quotidiennes, la scolarité des enfants.
