Ms. Awa Thiero, age 43, lives in a polygamous family with her husband, two co-wives, and their children in the Hamdallaye district of the city of Koutiala (third administrative region of the Republic of Mali). Very early on, she started working to earn an income along side her mom, who used to do commerce. Awa opted for selling kitchen utensils (tubs and other items) thirteen years ago. She enjoys a very enviable reputation and distinction in Koutiala. She is in high demand there on the weekly market day.


To build up a sizable inventory of kitchen utensils, she turned toward the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso five years ago. After four group loans (solidarity loans), all repaid without difficulty, she is on her fifth individual loan, the four preceding ones having been correctly repaid.


She intends to buy a large quantity of bowls and basins in Lomé (capital of Togo). She sells her goods at the grand marketplace of Koutiala, cash or credit accepted, to customers essentially composed of women.


She plans to generate a profit of 150,000 francs CFA per month that will be used to repay the loan, to help cover daily expenses of the family, and to invest the rest in her business.

Agée de 43 ans, Madame Awa Thiero vit dans une famille polygame avec son mari, ses deux coépouses et leurs enfants dans le quartier Hamdallaye de la ville de koutiala (troisième région administrative de la république du Mali)
Très tôt elle commença les activités génératrices de revenu auprès de sa maman qui faisait le commerce. Awa opta pour la vente des ustenciles de cuisine ( tasses et autres) depuis 13 ans. Elle jouit d’une réputation et d’une notoriété très enviable à Koutiala. Elle est très sollicitée lors des foires hebdomadaires de Koutiala.
Afin de pouvoir faire un stock important d’ustenciles, elle a fait recours à l’institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso depuis maintenant 5 ans. Après 4 prêts de groupe ( prêt solidaire ) tous remboursés sans difficultés, elle est à son 5 ème prêt individuel dont les 4 précédents ont été correctement remboursés.
Elle compte acheter une grande quantité de tasses à Lomé (Capitale du Togo ) et effectuer sa vente au grand marché de Koutiala, au comptant en détail et à crédit à une clientèle essentiellement composée de femmes.
Elle compte générer un bénéfice de 150.000FCFA par mois qu’elle utilisera pour le remboursement de son prêt , participer aux charges quotidiennes de la famille et investir le reste dans son activité.

PREMIER FEED BACK
 
Entrepreneur: Awa Thiero
Location: Koutiala, Mali

Madame Awa Thiéro a fait des achats pour en faire un important stock de tasses à Lomé (capitale du Togo) et au Ghana. Elle continue son activité positivement au grand marché de koutiala. Vu l’importance et l’avantage de ce prêt qui lui a permis d’augmenter la quantité de ses marchandises et d’améliorer la qualité de son produit, elle parvient à avoir plus de clientèle dû à ce prêt., elle compte toujours sur les financement de Soro Yiriwaso pour l’élargissement de son activité .
