Diambougoum Bidji Group

NDEW is the president of the "DIAMBOUGOUM" group, a Serer term meaning "HAVE PEACE" in French. She is a 54-year-old livestock breeder. She is seated in the front center, holding the sheep's horn with her right hand and raising her left. Married to a farmer, she is the mother of two children and supports five others aged 3 to 17, three of whom are in school. She is a creditworthy VFS client and has been engaged in this business for over seven years. With this loan, she plans to purchase and resell sheep and goats. This will allow her to strengthen her business and increase her income.

To obtain her supplies, she goes to the weekly markets in her locality and then resells them in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. The income she earns allows her to meet her family's needs (health, food, education, hygiene, etc.).

Among the challenges she faces are fierce competition, livestock theft, and the high cost of animals.

NDEW says, "I want to open a large sheep farm in the future."

In this group: Ndew, Seynabou, Daba, Siga, Anta, Aissatou, Sadio
