Just a few days ago my friend and I made a recent loan to the Djekafo group located in Keleya, Mali. They is a group of 5 women who have an average of 6 kids each! The average person in Mali makes  around 1,200 dollars a year, just compare that to what you make in a year. This group needs the money to expand their restaurant by buying food and condiments to keep up with demands. Also they do this to provide a better life for their families.   

The reason why we made this loan is because they are mothers who own a business and it is a worthy cause because you’re not only helping the business you are also helping the children for a brighter future. Also loaning to a group is more trustworthy because if one person fails to pay back the loan, then the others can chip in. Over all The Djekafo group in Keleya, Mali is a unique group that is succeeding in the business world AND they are hard working mothers who want the best for their kids.
