Gpf Diogo / Darou Khoudoss Group's story

This group was created November 19 2020 and is composed of 14 women who live in the same locality. They are hardworking and have good relationships with each other. The majority of the members work in commerce.

Khoudia, pictured to the right with her hand raised, is 32 years old. She is married and the mother of four children, all daughters. She sells fabrics, cosmetic products, and dishes. She benefits from nearly a decade of experience in this business and sells from her home.
