Ce groupe composé de cinq membres a été créé en janvier 2021. Les membres habitent la même localité et entretiennent de bonnes relations. Le but de la création du groupement était de permettre aux membres de développer des activités économiques et s’entre aider en cas de besoins. Leur activité principale est l’élevage. Monsieur Djiby qui se situe à droite de la photo avec la main levée est le représentant du groupe. Âgée de 41 ans, il est marié et père d'un garçon et quatre filles, il évolue dans le domaine de l'embouche bovine. Avec ce financement il va acheter des sujets, des sacs d'aliment, des vitamines pour les engraisser avant de les revendre.

Avec les bénéfices réalisés, il envisage de subvenir aux besoins de sa famille et augmenter son investissement en bétail.
