La Rose Group's story

Zozo H. A. is an entrepreneur and a member of the group "La Rose." She is 25 years old, married, and the mother of two children who are both comfortably educated. Her husband is unemployed. She runs a small business selling clothing (pants, children's dresses, etc.). She began her business with her own funds, which she got from her husband. She has been in business for four years. Later on, she received a loan from the IMF Hekima. She sets up her merchandise along side of the walking path, and sometimes walks through the avenues of the city to sell her goods. This new loan will allow her to restock with 8 pairs of pants. Moreover, she hopes to open her own shop. The client Zozo H. thanks Hekima for its work to help the impoverished who are excluded by classic banks. It should be noted the the group "La Rose" is mostly made up of women.
