This group is made up of two women who share strong bonds of solidarity and mutual help. They live in the same neighborhood and took the opportunity to join the village bank when it was set up in the area in March 2008. Their main activity is small-scale sales.
Salla (standing on the far right of the photo with her hand raised) is the representative of the group. She is 51 years old. She is married and the mother of three children, including a daughter. She trades in kitchen utensils. She has experience in this business, as she has practiced it for several years.
With this new loan, she plans to buy kitchen utensils in Dakar to resell them to her customers.
With the profits, she intends to develop her business, increase her savings, and help her husband support the family.
