Loan description:

Adjovi, 35, has a 14-year-old child who goes to school. Her husband works as a mechanic and they live together in the Agbo-Kpotame area of Atakpamé. For several years Adjovi made a living selling kitchen utensils; however, in 2006, she decided to move into the catering industry, which she finds more profitable. She mainly serves foreign dishes, such as spaghetti and lettuce-based hors-d’oeuvres. Adjovi spends time in the day relaxing before starting the preparation of her dishes in the afternoon. Then at night, she sells her food in front of a popular bar in Agbo-Kpotame. With a view to expanding her business and increasing profits, she is requesting her first loan of 400,000 West African francs from the microfinance institution WAGES, which she will pay back in 12 monthly instalments. With this loan she will buy produce such as lettuce, mayonnaise, spaghetti and onions. With the development of her business, Adjovi hopes that in the coming years she will be able to open up other food outlets and in turn, ensure the well-being of her family.

Original loan request in French

Adjovi est mère d’un enfant de 14 ans scolarisé. A 35 ans, elle est revendeuse et mariée à un mécanicien. Ensemble, ils vivent dans le quartier AGBO-KPOTAME à Atakpamé. Exerçant bien des années antérieures le commerce des ustensiles de cuisine, elle décide depuis 2006 de s’adonner à la restauration qu’elle trouve plus bénéfique. Elle sert des mets essentiellement étrangers notamment des plats de spaghettis, des hors d’œuvre à base de laitue. La vente se fait à la nuit tombée devant un bar très fréquenté du quartier. Elle profite de la journée pour se reposer avant de commencer la préparation de ses mets dans l’après midi. En vue d’étendre son activité et la voir générer des profits, elle sollicite son premier crédit de 400000FCFA à WAGES échelonné sur 12 mois de remboursement afin d’acheter les produits de préparation (laitues, mayonnaises, spaghettis, oignons…). Dans les années à venir, Adjovi pense avec l’évolution de son activité, ouvrir d’autres points de ventes et aussi assurer le bon épanouissement de sa famille.
