Loan description:
Eugénie is 50 years old and a married mother of seven children. They are all either school pupils or students. For 13 years, she has been very active in the retail or wholesale business selling a diverse range of produce such as rice, beans, peanuts, soya, sugar, wheat flour, gari (a staple made from cassava, which is popular in West Africa) and especially corn. She also sells milk, tinned tomatoes, sugar, soap, insecticide, matches and oil. She used to run a restaurant, but was forced to abandon this business due to health issues. To improve the management of her business, she is helped by her children on their days off. She sources her stock from the international market of Dantokpa in Cotonou. Eugénie has already benefitted from several loans from the microfinance organisation ACFB and is considered to be a credible client. The loan for 400,000 West African francs that she is currently seeking will enable Eugénie to expand her stock, which will in turn make her more able to help with household costs.
