Kamole Kadutu Group's story

Francoise is a client of the IMF Hekima and presides over the village group « KAMOLE KADUTU». She is a widow, 53 years old and the mother of six children, all of whom are in school. She sells bags. She started this business 13 years ago with start up funds received from her husband. Later, she got involved with the Hekima program to support her business, over the course of which she gradually evolved. With this new loan she is going to stock up with 400 empty bags, which will build up her working capital. The challenge in her business is tied to insufficient captial. She would like for her children to continue to study and to develop her business. Finally, she wishes to thank Hekima and its partners for the support given to unbankable business owners in the context of the global crisis tied to COVID-19. The photo is only of the leader of the group because of COVID-19 and respecting social distancing measures.
