Diéwol Woloff Group

The Banc Villageois to which Astou belongs is made up of 22 members. It was set up in November 2009 and is made up of working women, who enjoy a good relationship with one another. 

Astou, who is 52 years old, is standing on the far right of the photo and is the group's representative. She is a divorced mother of six children, three of whom are girls. Her main activity is the sale of perfumes and second-hand clothing.

With this new loan, she is planning to buy cartons of perfumes and bundles of second-hand clothing, which she will resell on a retail basis from her home. The profits she makes will be used to reinvest in her activity and to help her children.
