08-Soumboundou Group's story

These 22 women from the same village are part of the group set up in June 2012. They have good cohesion and share good relationships. They help each other to achieve a certain autonomy through retail trade. Ms. Néné, aged 46, represents the group alone. She is married and mother of 06 children. She has 06 other dependents. She has several times benefited from loans repaid on time. With her new credit, she plans to buy bananas and peanuts to resell. The profits will be used to strengthen her savings and to manage the needs of the children (schooling, food, etc.).

In this group: Fatou, Fatou, Diakong, Lebo, Fatou, Tida, Ndeye, Fanta, Kany, Mariama, Bougnadou, Sona, Fatou Sedhiou, Sire Banna, Dinosaba, Fatou Sarr, Nene, Faty, Dioutala, Penda, Fatoumata, Dobo
