Adding to basket
This group comprising 20 members was set up in 2007. It was created with the aim of enabling the members to develop economic activities. The members live in the same neighbourhood and are united by family ties and a strong sense of mutual support. Their main business is retail sales.
Mame Awa, the group's representative, is on the right hand side of the photo with her hand raised. She is a 45 year old married woman with 3 children, including 1 boy.
Mame Awa has a shop in the market where she sells crockery, and has over 10 years of experience. With this loan, she plans to add to her stock of merchandise.
