Mrs. Awa is a 62-year-old married woman and the mother of 9 children, including 2 boys. She is a farmer as well as a retailer. She buys unhulled rice that she hulls and retails. Her business is successful and she has loyal customers.
She uses her profits to diversify her business by purchasing seasonal fruit such as watermelons, mangoes and oranges, as well as to cover a number of family expenses.
