This "banc villageois" was created in May 2013 and is made up of good women who are active in the trade of different items. They are a group of 9 women who live in the same village and maintain good relationships with each other. They took out a special loan and are able to repay without difficulty and are active in the "banc villageois".
Mrs. Khady is a married woman, aged 43 and mother of 6 boys, 3 of whom are in school. She is the representative of the group and is active in the watermelon trade. She is on the left of the photo with one hand raised.
She is going to buy a field of watermelons for 230,000 F and pay for transport worth 20,000 F.
Her business is doing very well because she is the only one with this business in the village.
She provides education for one of her children who is in private school. A portion of her profits will go to strengthen her savings in the "banc villageois".
In this group: Ndeye, Khady, Maty, Thiaba, Dior, Aita, Aissatou, Alima, Fatou
