A loan helped a member to buy seeds for farming.


10 Aissatou Group's story

This four-member group has been created since the first cycle of the banc villageois and is made up of women from the same neighbourhood, united by good social and professional relations.

Fatoumata is the group's leader; she is 51 years old and has three children, all of whom go to school. She has been active in market gardening for a long time and has a good experience in this field, having practiced it for a long time.

With her new loan she is going to buy seed pots to do her market gardening. The profits from the sale of her products allow her to take care of her own personal needs.

In this group: Aissatou, Fatoumata, Arame Mame, Maty Nd
