This group of six women is part of the banc villageois that was established in August 2012. They hail from the same village and share strong values of cooperation and mutual aid. Their main activity is retail, and they have successfully repaid 10 loans.

Madame Aminata, the group's representative, is on the far right in the photo with her hand raised. She is married and has one child, and she sells animal feed. She purchases her merchandise at the market and resells it in her neighborhood. She benefits from 30 years of experience in her field.

With this loan, Amanita will buy 100 bags of animal feed, including delivery and fees. She does well thanks to her faithful customers and her years of experience. Her earnings will enable her to save money at the banc villageois, grow her business, and cover medical expenses.

In this group: Aminata, Fanta, Aguida, Nafissatou, Marième M, Astou
