Touba Group's story

The banc villageois was formed on February 2, 2014. The members live in the same neighborhood and are active in retail commerce.

Fatoumata is the group representative and she has her hand raised. She sells clothing, shoes, necklaces, and cashew nuts. She is 50 years old, married, and mother of seven children with two others in her care.

With this loan, she plans to strengthen her stock. The profit will help her save and assist her husband in improving daily family needs (health, food, and schooling).
