Gpf Darou Khoudoss Diobe Group's story

This group was created on November 19, 2020 and is composed of 14 women who live in the same locality. These women work together and have good relationships. For the most part they work in commerce selling vegetables.

Diobé, pictured to the right with her hand raised, is 43 years old. She is the mother of eight children, including four daughters. She sells vegetables and has over a decade of experience in her work.

Diobé's merchandise includes peppers, onions, lemons, and cabbages, which she sells at the local marketplace and neighboring ones. She is well-known in her community for the high quality of her products, and she enjoys a loyal clientele.

With the profits from her sales, Diobé plans to increase her savings as well as participate in tontines at the market. Her income also supports her family.
