The group Women Dressmakers of Yoff (http://www.sem-fund.org/yoff_fr.php) would like to improve the living conditions of its members and contribute to the fight against poverty in Senegal. They previously received a first loan and come to Kiva to request a loan renewal. Since the end of the year holidays and Tabaski (Aïd El Kabir) are approaching, they would like to take advantage of this time to to buy large quantities of raw material (fabric, thread, cotton, wool) and sew clothing they would sell for a good price during the holidays.

Nous sommes des femmes de l'écovillage de Yoff qui sommes formés en couture, teinture. Le prêt que nous avons reçu de Kiva nous a permis de nous équiper en matériels de couture moderne pour pouvoir faire face à la demande des populations et aussi relever le défi de la concurrence. Nous voulons participer à la lutte contre la pauvreté qui caractérise notre zone en s’activant entièrement dans les domaines où nous excellons le plus. La couture en a fait parti. C’est pourquoi nous l’avions choisi. Nous sommes fières de Kiva.
