Loan description:
At the age of 28, Lelendema is married to a hairdresser; they live together in a suburb of Lomé called Adidogomé. They do not yet have any children. Lelendema is the owner and manager of a shop that sells general food products, located in the popular neighbourhood of Avédji. He sells jars of jam, milk, tomatoes, sugar and other such items. He sources his stock from the large market in the town. Lelendema has run this business for nearly four years now; before he did this he was a tiler. He has known the microfinance organisation WAGES since the opening of the office opposite his shop. Since Lelendema has joined, WAGES have witnessed his serious professionalism, as proved by the way in which he manages his business. As a result WAGES agreed to grant him an initial loan for 500,000 West African francs over a period of twelve months in order to revitalise and expand his business through the purchase of new stock; notably rice, oil and jars of jam. Lelendema’s ambition in the long term is to open a supermarket. He hopes that the growth of his business will lead to an improvement in his family’s living conditions.
