The ten members of the group BENKADI 2 are married women who average 33 years of age and 5 children. They live for the most part in polygamous families in the village of FOFODIANA, in the community of Tingolé, sub-prefecture of FANA (2nd administrative region of the Republic of Mali).

They are collaborating with the micro-finance institution Soro Yiriwaso with the goal of obtaining financial support to carry out their winter-time work, which revolves around growing sorghum, peanuts, and beans. They are on their fifth experience with the institution. All the past loans were repaid without any difficulties at all.

With this new loan, they intend to buy fertilizer, herbicide, and minor farm supplies and equipment and to cover the cost of weeding and labor for maintaining 22 hectares.

A portion of their production is for their own consumption. The other portion is sold to customers composed of men and women at the marketplaces of Tingolé, Marka-Coungo, and Fana.

The group members plan on realizing an average profit of 50,000 francs CFA after the planting season.

Elles sont à leur cinquième expérience avec l’institution et tous les prêts passés ont été remboursés sans aucune difficulté.
Avec ce nouveau prêt, elles comptent acheter de l’engrais, de l’herbicide, des petits matériels agricoles et payer les frais de sarclage et de labour pour entretenir 22 hectares.
Une partie de leur production est auto consommée et l’autre partie est vendue sur les marchés de Tingolé, de Marka-Coungo et de Fana à une clientèle composée d’hommes et de femmes.
Elles comptent réaliser un bénéfice moyen de 50 000FCFA après la campagne.
