A loan helped a member to buy sheep for resale.


Avec Wackilare Bari Counda Group's story

Madame META is a woman who heads a group of eighteen women who have worked together for several years. They are active in animal breeding. She is not literate and 43 years old, she is the one in the picture. She is married and the mother of 6 children who are aged between 3 and 12, all who are in school. She dreams of expanding her livestock, hence the need to get financing from an IMF. She plans to use her share of the loan to buy sheep in the surrounding villages where the price of sheep and food is cheap. She will sell them after several months of fattening. The benefit of the loan will help her pay for her children's school fees, medical costs ... She has been doing this activity for more than 10 years given the importance of animal breeding in this area. But sometimes she is faced with problems linked to the lack of means to finance her activity.
