Madam Khady, who represents the group (with her hand raised in the photo), is a trader: she is a 52-year-old widow with eight children (four boys and four girls).
She sells local products such as honey, lemon juice and palm oil in her village and has good experience in her field.
The profits will be used to pay for food, her children's health and her youngest daughter's school fees: the rest she will use to build up her savings.
In this group: Khady, Sokhna, Gnima, Marieme, Mariama
