A loan helped a member to buy cattle, sheep, and barrels of millet and peanuts.


Dl_Tenefoul Group's story

This group was created in October 2013 to bring together united and very dynamic women who work mainly in trade and livestock.

Maimouna, standing to the right of the photo with her hand raised, is the group's representative. She is 53 years old, married, and mother of six children including three boys. She works in livestock and has a large experience in the sector. At the same time she works in the sale of cereals.

With her new loan, she plans to buy cattle and sheep which she will fatten and resell after several months. She will also buy barrels of millet and peanutes which she will also resell retail. The rest of the loan will be used to buy livestock feed.

With the profits that she will earn, she plans to buy a plot of land to give to her children.
