Darou Khoudoss Group's story

This "banc villageois" was created in July 2006 and is made up of good women who are active in commerce. It is a group of 3 women who live in the village and surrounding areas and who maintain good relationships. They are very supportive of each other.
Madam Ndèye Khady is a married woman, aged 44 and mother of 2 children, a boy and a girl, both attending school. She is active in the sale of cosmetic products. This is the representative of the group. She is on the left of the photo with one hand raised.
She is going to buy cosmetics: 1 box of 12 bottles of body lotion, 1 box of perfume, toilet soap and head scarves.
She has many customers and is very well known in the village because of her 10 years of experience. She always manages to sell all her merchandise.
She uses her profits to take care of her family because she is divorced and another portion to pay her interest and save in the "banc villageois".

In this group: Ndeye Khady, Thiama, Maty
