This group, created in May 2019, is composed of women who live in the same area. They are united by bonds of kinship and close friendship, and their main areas of work are agriculture and livestock. This is their first loan.
Fatou is the group's representative; she is standing at the right of the photo with her hand raised. She is married and mother of five children including four boys. She works in agriculture.
With this loan, she plans to buy peanuts and fertiliser to cultivate the land. The profits from her sales will enable her to meet the needs of her family.
