This Djiguiya 2 group is made up of 10 married women, who have an average age of 36 with, on average, 5 children. They live in traditional extended (conjugal) families with their brothers, sisters, children and husbands, in the village of Kola, in the rural community of Koumantou, prefecture of Bougouni, Sikasso region, Republic of Mali.



They met through farming or through being related to each other by marriage. So as to improve their productivity, they decided to join the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso. They are on their third rural loan and both the preceding loans were correctly reimbursed. With this loan they intend to buy 25 sacks of fertilizer, of which 9 will be complex fertilizer and 16 sacks of urea to plant 3 hectares of maize, 1.5 hectares of sorghum, and 1 hectare of beans. The expected yield is 3.5 tons of maize, 1.5 tons of sorghum, and 1 ton of beans. The fertilizer is purchased from the merchants in Bougouni and from itinerant merchants at the market fairs of Koumantou. At the end of the harvest season, each of the women expects to make a profit of 50,000 F CFA, which they will invest in market gardening before the next major agricultural season.

Le groupe Djiguiya 2 est constitué de dix femmes mariées avec une moyenne d’âge de 36 ans et 5 enfants. C’est dans des familles conjugales traditionnelles élargies que ces dames vivent avec leurs frères, sœurs, enfants et époux dans le village de Kola (commune rurale de Koumantou), préfecture de Bougouni, région de Sikasso, république du Mali.
A travers des liens de mariage et d’activités agricoles, ces femmes se sont connues.
Afin d’améliorer leur productivité, elles ont décidé d’adhérer à l’institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso.
Elles sont à leur troisième prêt agricole et tous les précédents ont été correctement remboursés.
Avec ce prêt elles comptent acheter, 25 sacs d’engrais dont 9 sacs de complexe et 16 sacs d’urée pour faire 3 hectares de maïs, 1,5 hectare de sorgho, et 1hectare de haricot.
La production attendue à l’hectare est de 3,5 tonnes pour le maïs, 1,5 tonne de sorgho et 1 tonne pour le haricot. Les intrants sont achetés auprès des commerçants de Bougouni et des forains fréquentant la foire de Koumantou.
En fin de campagne, les femmes du groupe espèrent sur un bénéfice de 50 000FCFA chacune qu’elles vont investir dans le maraîchage avant la prochaine campagne.

Avant de commencer les travaux agricoles, les membres de l’association DJIGUIYA 2 DE kOLA ont effectivement achetés les intrants et les semences. Ces achats ont été effectués sur le marché BOUGOUNI auprès des fournisseurs. Grâce à ce prêt, les femmes ont pu fertiliser correctement leurs exploitations agricoles ce qui les a permirent de faire une bonne récolte. En fin de campagne, elles ont eu une production totale de 3 tonnes de maïs, 2 tonnes de sorgho et 1,5 tonnes de petit mil. Une partie de cette production a été utilisé pour la consommation familiale et l’autre partie a été vendue aux commerçants de BOUGOUNI pour rembourser le prêt. Après le remboursement du prêt, elles ont eu chacune un intérêt 25.000F CFA qui sera utilisé pour supporter les frais scolaire des enfants.
