This group is made up of 12 members and was created on 21 September 2013. The group includes women who are merchants who sell dried and smoked fish.
Ngoné is the the leader of this group. She is 46 years old, married, and a mother of five children, of whom four are in school.
Ngoné is very active with what goes on in her area and plays an important role. She is standing on the right in the photo with her hand raised.
Ngoné has sold dried and smoked fish for five years and has had a good experience with this. With her new loan, she is going to buy trays of smoked and dried fish to resell at retail in her local area.
The profits that she makes will go towards her children's school fees and to support the family.
