Susu is a traditional form of saving practised in many West African countries, which involves regularly setting aside small amounts of money.

Although experts advise that it is safer to save with the banks, some people prefer to save through this approach.

This young man began saving in 2019 and has earned so much now that his money filled his living room when he finally opened his money box.
