02_Ddoumassou Group's story

Since its creation, this group has been made up of very united women who are mainly active in small businesses. They have a great relationship with each other.

Aissatou, 45, is alone in the photo due to Covid 19 social distancing measures. She is married, and a mother of four children including two girls. She has been active in poultry farming for years and has extensive experience in the field. She goes to the capital to buy her products.

With this new loan, Aissatou intends to buy cartons of chicks that she will resell after maturity. The rest of the loan will be used to buy poultry feed and cover other expenses.

With the profits, Aissatou plans to buy local products, such as palm oil and honey, that she also intends to resell.
