This women's group has existed since May, 2022. They live in the same locality and maintain strong family and friendship bonds. Their main activity is commerce. Kaka [member whose hand is raised in the picture] is the group's representative. She is 49 years old and a mother of 6 children, the youngest being 9 years old.
Kaka is active in business and plans to use this loan to stock her shop. She will buy bissap [a drink made from dried hibiscus flowers] and du pain de singe pour la grème [a popular Senegalese dish made with monkey bread, bissap syrup, and milk].
Kaka uses part of her sales profits to contribute each day to a collective savings group and to meet certain family needs.
