AB  - This case study examines microfinance, particularly with regard to the management of financing by an association of women entrepreneurs, in the rural commune of Zagtouli. We are particularly interested in the impacts of social solidarity practices on the management of this microfinance. The analysis of the multifaceted aspects of solidarity between women and those around them (neighborhood and family) demonstrates the facets of the reality of the management of microfinance by this group of women. It emerges from this study that the fact that women belong to a given community refers to several family and community responsibilities, which influence their ways of doing business. This case study fills in a literature on loan repayment factors for women entrepreneurs in an African context. All of these parameters allow us to understand the factors that influence female entrepreneurship.
