08-Nema Group's story

This group was created in May 2009 and accommodates 2 women from the same locality. They are united by bonds of solidarity and mutual support. They work in sales to gain a degree of autonomy.

Sadio, aged 45, with her hand raised, is the group's leader. She is married with 5 children.

Her new loan will be used to stock her store with rice, vegetable oil, condiments, onions, and more.

With the profits, she plans to build up her savings and her business and help her husband take care of their daily expenses.

In this group: Sadio, Sokhna
