Loan description:
Sikiratou, 30, is a married mother with 2 children. For the past year, she has been managing her own shop selling a diverse range of products, such as milk, tinned tomatoes, sugar, soap, insecticide, matches and oil. In addition to running this business, she also produces palm oil. She stocks up on her various products at the market in Ikpinlè and sources the nuts for her palm oil from the fields by the village of Honte and the surrounding area. Her children sometimes help her in the business. Sikiratou is a very welcoming woman and is proud that the variety of the products that she offers attracts a significant customer base. Having been a beneficiary of the products of the microfinance organisation ACFB for several years, she is currently seeking a loan for 450,000 West African francs so that she can expand her stocks. The ensuing profit from this loan will help Sikiratou to increase her capital and contribute to household costs, but will also enable her to save for the purchase of her own plot of land in the near future.
