Médina Fall Niakh Jeurinu Group's story
The banc villageois was created in June 2015 and is made up of brave women who are active in commerce. They live in the same neighborhood and surrounding area they have benefited from several loans that they have repaid without difficulty.
Madame Maguette is a 59-year-old widow with 4 children, including a daughter, all of whom attend school. She trades in fabrics and body lotion. She is on the right of the photo with one hand raised.
With her loan, she buys 5 packs of 12 yards of wax, 5 packs of 22 yards of voile and 5 cartons of body lotion.
She has her own loyal clientele, and despite the competition, she manages to sell her merchandise well.
With the profits she will strengthen her business, contribute to the local tontine (a type of savings group) and provide for herself and her children.
In this group: Falé, Mariama, Adama, Magatte, Yacine, Maty
