08-Niafor Group's story

This banc villageois was created in 2008. It consists of this group of women who have retail businesses. They are energetic and united despite living in different villages. Mrs. Aminata, with her hand raised in the photo, is the group representative. She is a married mother of six, and there are five others in her care. She has good experience selling ice cream. With her new loan, she plans to buy baobab fruit and sugar for the cream. The profits will allow her to restock on baobab fruit to prepare for the start of the children's school year.
