Mariane is a member of the Banc Villageois established in her community since its inception in October 1995. This brave woman is sixty-two years old and divorced. She is the mother of three children including two daughters, all of whom are now adults.
Marianne runs a business selling fabric and simultaneously processes grain products. She sells door-to-door and has ten years of experience in this industry. She will buy twenty lengths of wax fabric, fifteen pagne sets [traditional cloth wraps] and one bag of millet to process. She is able to sell her merchandise without difficulty. Her profits allow her to increase her savings and to provide for her needs.
