A loan helped a member to sell produce at the Saraya market.


Gpf Binkouto De Saraya Group's story

This group of twelve women was established in October 2017. They live in the same village and are good friends. Their main business is trade. This is the group's fifth loan cycle.
Diankin, age 26, is the group's representative. She is in the picture. She is married and the mother of two children: one girl and one boy. She has a small produce business. She buys her supplies at the large markets such as Kédougou and sells them at the market in Saraya.
With this loan, Diankin plans to buy 5 to 10 kg of produce which she will sell at the market in Saraya, hoping to make a good income. Her profits will go to expand and diversify her business and to save to help her children in their education.

In this group: Yakhare, Sancoun, Diankin, Nassan, Fatoumata, Sancoumba, Haby, Goundo, Kagno, Satamba, Diouma, Aissatou
