What is a sousou?
A sousou (SU-su) is a form of cooperative economics often used by West African and Caribbean women. It is a community pool of funds in which each participant makes an ongoing contribution. On a set date, those who have contributed receive a distribution of the entire pool's value. This system enables communities to save, support, and invest.
