Saint Jean Baptiste Group's story
This banc villageois was created in June 2007. It is made up of brave women who work in commerce. They live in the same neighborhood and area. They have solidarity between them.
Madame Marie Piere is a 56 year old married woman. She is the mother of 5 children (3 are girls), and all children are in school. She works by selling outfits and shoes for women. She is on the right of the photo with her hand raised.
With this loan, she is going to buy 2 dozen dresses and 12 pairs of shoes, as well as pay to deliver them from the capital to her home.
She sells her merchandise by credit to her customers and she recovers the earnings at the end of each month. She has a dependable clientele that repays her without problems.
With the earnings, she will strengthen her savings at the banc villageois, participate in feeding her family, and support her children with their school fees.
In this group: Brigitte, Nathaline Ndéo, Marie Angele, Rose Ken, Marie P, Véronique, Agnès, Odette Pascaline
