Foulacolong Group's story
This group was created in 2015: it is made up of 15 members who all live in the same neighbourhood and who have a very good relationship with each other.
Madam Amy (standing on the right in the photo, with her hand raised) is the group's representative: she is 58 years old, is married and has five children (two girls and three boys).
Like most of the members, Madam Amy is involved in the seed trade: she has more than five years of experience in this sector.
Her profits will be used to increase her savings and strengthen her business, but also to pay for part of her children's schooling.
In this group: Hawa, Kadiata, Aminata, Amy, Mboyo, Mariama, Seynabou, Aissatou, Ramata, Rouguiatou, Maty, Sira, Oumou
