Tontine
This is a savings bank but the money is collected between friends. People put a certain amount of money together and, at the end of each month and in turns, each one can pocket the money. The "tontine" is used for various things, including as social security; in case of sickness, no member will have to face medical expenses all alone. But the tontine can also serve as a social tool. It shows the solidarity of Gambian people.
