Moussou De Sokone Group's story
Alima is the president of the "Moussou" group, a Bambara term meaning "Braves Femmes" in French [Brave Women].
She is a 53-year-old trader. Standing in the middle, she is a widow and the mother of one 13-year-old child who attends school.
Alima is a creditworthy VFS customer and has been in business for 20 years.
With this loan, she plans to buy goods (traditional fabric, Getzner fabric, peanut paste, other various items...) to strengthen her business and increase her income.
To source her goods, she travels to Mali and to the weekly markets in her area, to resell in her neighborhood and surrounding areas.
The income she earns allows her to meet her family's needs in the following areas: health, food, education, hygiene, etc.
Among the difficulties she faces are strong competition, inflation, and the high cost of transportation.
Alima wants to become a major businesswoman and develop her business on a national scale.
