The members of the group Sabougnouma (composed of seven married women) average five children and 38 years of age. They live in polygamous households in the village of Bougoula Hameau, located about 3 km from the city of Sikasso (third administrative region of the Republic of Mali). Cousins and neighbors, they are very energetic women who do commerce in condiments, grain, and cloth. In addition, they process néré seeds into “soumbala”, a highly-prized food product with virtues appreciated for making sauces.


This group has been collabroating with the loan program of the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso for two years now. It is on its third solidarity loan (group loan). All the preceding loans have been correctly repaid. The current loan the group members are requesting will enable them to buy: 20 sacks of néré seeds, 2 sacks of onions, 2 of eggplant, 1 of okra, 5 packets of Maggie bouillon cubes, 5 cans of tomato paste, etc. The merchandise is generally purchases at the grand marketplace in Sikasso from producers and wholesale merchants. Sales are made either at the local marketplace or out of homes, cash or credit accepted, to customers composed village women.


Using this third loan, they each envision realizing an average monthly profit of 13,000 francs CFA that will be used to pay the loan interest, to provide for the family, and to invest the rest into their respective businesses.
