A loan helped a member to buy peanut seed and fertiliser.


05-Fatou Group's story

This group of women has been in existence since May 2019; they live in the same locality and have very strong ties of kinship and solidarity. Their main activity is agriculture.

Fatou, who is the representative of the group, is 40 years old, married and the mother of four children, including two girls. She works in agriculture.

With this loan, she plans to buy peanut seeds and bags of fertiliser for the crop; after harvesting, she will sell her production on the local market at a good price, hoping to obtain a better income.

With the profits, she plans to strengthen her savings and help her husband to meet the family needs (food, care, children's schooling).

In this group: Amine, Fatou, Khady, Maimouna, Fatou Ndeye, Adama Sarr, Fatou
