Adding to basket
This Banc Villageois was set up in December 2008 and is made up of a group of women, who are very dynamic and active traders. They live in the same district and are linked as relatives and by solidarity. They have repaid several loans on schedule.
Maguette, who is 54 years old, is the representative and is on the right of the photo with her hand raised. She is married and mother to seven children, four of whom are boys and one of whom is still a student. She raises poultry and makes her purchases at the central market. She works from home where she has her chicken coop. She has more than 13 years' experience in this domain.
She is going to buy two cartons of chicks (100), sacks of chicken feed and sacks of wood residue; she will also pay for vaccines, water and vitamins. She has a good customer base and her business works well, since she is well-known in her district. Her profits enable her to provide for her family's needs, help her husband with the house expenses and increase her savings with the Banc Villageois.
In this group: Marie Louise, Thérèse, Joséphine Codou, Marie Thérèse Ndew, Rosalie, Maguette, Thérèse, Awa, Ndéye Fatou, Elisabeth Codou
