Mbirdiam Group's story
This banc villageois was created in December 2001 and includes courageous women who are active in trade. They live in the same village and have good relations with each other.
Mrs. Fatou is a 41-year-old married woman and a mother of six children, including four boys. Her children go to school. She is active in the fruit trade. She is the representative of the group and is on the right of the photo with her hand raised.
With her loan, she will buy two crates of clementines, two bags of oranges, and two crates of bananas. She has been selling fruit for over ten years, and her customers are loyal.
She will use her profits to increase her savings, contribute to the group's savings, and to help her husband support the family.
