Togo
Loan description:
Odjoti is a very active woman, aged 43. She is married to a master builder and has three children aged 27 and 15. They live together in the neighbourhood of Kossibio where the two youngest children also attend the school in the area. For more than twenty years, Odjoti has specialised in the sale of grains (beans and corn) in the large market at Anié, the neighbouring locality to the town of Atakpamé. Today, she has mastered all of the parts of this very particular business. Odjoti sources her stock from a small agricultural village called Oké. She stores her products and then resells it at an opportune moment. She employs one person to help manage her business. Odjoti is a new client of the microfinance organisation WAGES. The growth of her capital has continued to improve with WAGES to the point where she feels she can overcome her concerns and scepticisms about microcredit and try out her first loan. She is seeking a loan for 600,000 West African francs for a period of twelve months; the money will entirely be used to expand her stock through the purchase of sacks of corn and beans. Today, Odjoti rents the shop in which she stocks her grains and hopes in the future to be able to build other shops where she can employ others to sell her grains.
Original loan request in French:
Odjoti est une femme très active âgée de 43 ans. Mariée à un maître-maçon, elle a 3 enfants âgés entre 27 ans et 15 ans vivant tous dans le quartier KOSSOBIO où les deux plus jeunes enfants fréquentent le complexe scolaire du quartier.
Depuis plus de 20 ans, Odjoti s’est spécialisée dans la vente des céréales (haricot, mais) dans le grand marché d’Anié, localité voisine de la ville d’Atakpamé. Aujourd’hui, elle maitrise parfaitement tous les rouages de cette activité bien particulière. Elle s’approvisionne dans un petit village agricole du nom de Oké. Elle stocke sa marchandise et la revend au moment opportun. Elle emploie une personne dans la gestion de son activité.
Odjoti est une nouvelle cliente de WAGES. Son capital de croissance s’est vite accru avec WAGES au point où elle a pu dépasser ses craintes et préjugés en matière de crédit pour expérimenter son premier crédit.
Elle sollicite 600000FCFA sur une durée de 12 mois destiné entièrement à l’achat de sacs de maïs et de haricot.
A ce jour, Odjoti loue le magasin dans lequel elle stocke ses céréales et compte ainsi dans l’avenir construire des magasins de ventes de céréales où elle peut employer d’autres personnes.
