A loan helped to buy peanut paste.


Fatou Thior's story

Fatou Thior is 38 years old, and lives with her husband and four children, three of whom are in school.

She sells peanut paste. Senegalese like dishes made from peanut paste, which is why Fatou has many customers every day. Her business is profitable and she is proud of it.

Fatou Thior is requesting a loan of 300,000 XOF to buy a large quantity of peanut paste. With her profits, she pays for her children's school fees and helps her husband meet daily expenses.

Fatou Thior dreams of building a large store to keep good stocks and sell her merchandise.
