Togo
Loan description:
Dopé is 33 years old, married and a mother to three children, who all attend school. Her husband is a driver. Dopé works in close collaboration with dressmakers. In fact, Dopé sells fabrics that she bought in Lomé. These fabrics constitute the raw materials for tailors and dressmakers to whom she offers competitive prices and a personalised service. She is also involved in the retail trade of such fabrics, selling them to women and girls. As a sales strategy, Dopé travels around, walking from market to market selling her fabrics. She joined the microfinance organisation WAGES two years ago, but this is her first request for a loan. This loan for 450,000 West African francs, repayable in twelve months, will be used for the expansion of stock through the purchase of a batch of local fabrics (such as those called hitarget and phoenix) as well another batch imported from Ouagadougou. Her prospects for the future are to see her business expand and acquire national renown.
