Confiance Group's story

Masika M. E. is an entrepreneur, the president of the Confiance group, 42 years old, married and the mother of 8 children. Her spouse is a businessman in a pharmacy dispensary. The client, Masika M. E., is an artist. She weaves women's hats from threads at her home and sells them at the central market of Virunga. It has been about four years that she has run this art business.

The client Masika M. E. thanks Hekima for its actions in favor of the poor, who are excluded from classic banks. She group Confiance is made up of 35 members.
