The Teriya goup is made up of 4 women from Kimparana village (San Prefecture, Ségou region) who are from the same neighborhood. They are on average 30, married, and have at least 2 children.



Their principal business revolves around fish which is sold either fresh, smoked, or grilled. To expand the size of their businesses, the members of the group decided two years ago to join the credit program of Soro Yiriwaso. The amount of money they were allowed to borrow started off at 50,000 F CFA for their first loan and is now at 150,000 F CFA for their 5th loan. This loan will be used to buy cases of fish from Mopti (fifth region of Mali). Besides this primary business, some of the members of the group sell firewood.



Their products are sold at the various marketdays in the area as well as out of their houses. The women of the Teriya group help to cover family expenses and invest a part of the profit back into their businesses.

Le groupe Teriya est un regroupement de quatre femmes du village de kimparana (préfecture de San région de Ségou) qui sont des voisines de quartier. Elles ont en moyenne 30 ans, mariées et mères d’au moins 2 enfants.
Elles mènent une activité centrée autour du poisson qui est soit vendu frais, fumé ou grillé. Pour augmenter la taille de leurs activités, les membres ont décidé d’intégrer le programme crédit de Soro Yiriwaso depuis deux ans. Le montant du prêt est passé de 50.000 FCFA au premier prêt à 150.000 FCFA pour le cinquième prêt. Le prêt actuel sera utilisé pour payer des cartons de poissons à partir de Mopti (Cinquième région du Mali). En plus de cette activité principale, certaines vendent du bois de chauffe.
Les produits sont vendus aux différentes foires de la zone ainsi qu’à la maison. Les femmes du groupe Teriya contribuent aux dépenses de la famille et injectent une partie des bénéfices dans leurs activités.

PREMIER ET DERNIER FEED BACK
 
Entrepreneur: Teriya (friendship) Group
Location: Koutiala, Mali

Les femmes du groupe Teriya ont effectivement acheté des cartons de poissons fumés au marché de Mopti (cinquième région administrative de la république du Mali). Elles ont également constitué un stock important de bois de chauffe pour la vente. Le prêt a permis d’augmenter le niveau des activités et entraîner une augmentation de la demande et de la vente. Selon les femmes du groupe Teriya les perspectives sont bonnes car les ruptures de stocks sont rares et les clients sont satisfaits. Le remboursement des échéances s’est bien déroulé.
