One of the first female livestock traders in Bandiagara
This woman was one of the first female traders to start importing livestock from the North to the Bandiagara region. She lost everything when her store in Gao market, where she kept several tonnes of produce, burnt down during the hostilities in 2012.
She is now trying to recover her business and starting again from scratch, though many of the people she used to do business with in the North are no longer there. In order to make ends meet and restock her assets, she is now also selling fruits and vegetables in Bandiagara market.
