Solange

Loan description:

Solange is 31 and has one child, who is in the second year at primary school. To make a living, Solange sells a diverse range of plastic items such as buckets, ice boxes, colanders and bath tubs. She has received no professional training. She sources her stock from the international market in Cotonou and from Nigeria. As an itinerant trader she is able to reach a large number of customers in a period of time. She has already benefitted from the services of microfinance organisation ACFB on nine occasions and is considered a credible client. The loan for 400,000 West African francs that she is currently seeking would serve to expand her stock of plastics and would in turn allow her to contribute more actively towards the school fees of her children.
