Loan description:
Adouni, 50, is a widow and mother to 3 children: 1 is at school, 1 is a tiler and 1 helps to run the business. Adouni is very active in the wholesale trade of maize, which she sells in 50kg and 100kg sacks. She started running this business close to 30 years ago. In addition to this, she makes and sells akassa – a stew made in Africa. In order to better serve her customers, Adouni is helped by her children on their days off, as well as 2 people who she pays. She sources her stocks from the markets at Mowodani and Ikpinlè. She is a client who has always honoured her commitments to the microfinance organisation ACFB. This loan for 450,000 West African francs will enable her to expand her stocks. The ensuing benefit of this loan is that it will enable her to better support her household – that is to say to support her child’s education, which she must do on her own, and especially to save for the development of the business.
Original loan request in French:
Veuve et mère de 03 enfants dont un seul élève, un carreleur et un enfant qui l’aide dans ses activités, Adouni est âgée de 50 ans. Elle est très active dans le commerce en gros du maïs dans des sacs de 50 kg et de 100 kg. Elle a commencé cette activité depuis près d’une trentaine d’année. A cela, elle ajoute la préparation de l’akassa. Pour mieux servir ses clients, elle se fait aider par ses enfants les jours de repos et embauche encore 02 personnes qu’elle paie. Elle s’approvisionne sur le marché de Mowodani et d’Ikpinlè. Elle est une cliente qui a toujours honoré ses engagements au près de l’ACFB. Ce prêt d’un montant de 450.000 FCFA qu’elle sollicite consisterait à s’approvisionner. Le bénéfice issu de ce prêt servirait à mieux entretenir son foyer c'est-à-dire à soutenir son enfant dans sa scolarisation vu qu’elle s’en occupe seule mais surtout à économiser pour accroitre son commerce.
