Loan description:

Salatou is 51, married and has one child, who is a hairdresser. For thirty years, Salatou has made a living through a retail business in rice, corn, millet and sorghum (a type of grass raised for grain). She was able to establish this business due to high demand. Amongst her customers she counts in particular restaurant owners and householders to whom she sometimes sells on credit, as an extra asset she offers above her competitors. He sources her stock from the markets in Tokpa and Glazoué. She has benefitted from several loans from the microfinance organisation ACFB. In 2011, she obtained a loan for 300,000 West African francs that she repaid appropriately. At the moment, she is requesting a loan for 500,000 West African francs, which she will repay in twelve months. This loan would enable Salatou to expand her stock through the purchase of ten 50kg sacks of rice, ten 50kg sacks of millet or sorghum and twenty 50kg sacks of corn. The benefit of this loan is that it will help to boost her capital, which will in turn enable Salatou to build her own store.
