"Association Femme Développement Entreprise AFDE N°8" is a group composed of five women who average 45 years of age living in large traditional extended families in the Randouléne Sud district (region of Thiès). The women know one another through ties of community and kinship, and they do almost the same work, selling cloth and sewing supplies. They are in high demand in these field.


With regard to improving the quality of their services and expanding their businesses, the members of this reliance group decided to join the micro-finance institution IMCEC and are now on their second solidarity loan (group loan). Their first loan was correctly repaid.


With this loan, the group members plan to build a sizable stock of cloth and sewing supplies, which will be sold, cash accepted, at the grand marketplace of Thiès.


Each group member hopes to realize an average profit of 25,000 francs CFA in the course of this cycle. The profits will be used to make loan interest payments, to provide for the extended family, and to invest the rest in business.

Dans le cadre de l’amélioration de la qualité de leurs services et l’agrandissement de la taille de leurs activités, les membres du groupe confiance ont décidé d’intégrer l’institution de micro finance IMCEC avec laquelle il est à son deuxième prêt solidaire (prêt de groupe). Leur premier prêt était correctement remboursé. Elles comptent utiliser ce prêt pour constituer un stock important de tissus et mercerie.
