Microfinance as An Instrument for The Advancement of Women: The Case of The Ngonine Women's Group with The NGO Mission Inter Sénégal.

Microfinance is increasingly seen as a tool for empowering women and promoting their status. The objectives are multiple: to increase their income and facilitate their financial independence, to stabilize and professionalize their entrepreneurial activity, but also, and perhaps above all, to improve their status within the family, to strengthen their self-esteem, and to promote their capacity for self-organization and, therefore. Our study reveals that microfinance has enabled women in Ngolfagnique to finance their projects, thereby promoting not only greater financial inclusion through credit and savings, but also enabling women to develop strong leadership skills, particularly in entrepreneurship, communication, and personal development.
