Togo
Loan description:
Kossiwa Atchrimi is 38 years old. She is married and has a son who is 14 years old. Her husband works in an office. Kossiwa is a trained dressmaker and works in a studio at Agbonou station, opposite the local primary school. As well as this, she sells dyed, printed fabrics that she buys in Lomé (the capital of Togo) and Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina Faso). This secondary line of work is rather strategic because she sells the fabrics on to her clients who then give them back to her to sew, enabling her to make a profit twice over. Kossiwa subscribed to WAGES a year ago and received an initial loan of 150 000 CFA francs. This second loan of 300 000 CFA francs, repayable in twelve months, will help her to buy a batch of local fabrics (Hitarget, Phoenix) and another batch imported from Ouagadougou. She hopes to see her business expand and be nationally renowned in the future

Kossiwa est couturière de formation et exerce son activité dans un atelier situé à la gare d’Agbonou en face de l’école primaire.

Cette activité connexe est très stratégique car elle revend ses pagnes à ses clients qui les lui confie à nouveau pour la couture ce qui lui permet de gagner doublement.
