Loan description:

Kodjo lives in an area undergoing complete transformation and where construction work on houses and other buildings is taking place on a daily basis. He has used this opportunity to set up a small hardware shop. Kodjo is a trained tailor but had to stop this line of work in 2008 in order to concentrate on his shop. He sells a wide variety of building materials, including shovels, paints, PVC pipes, nails, rolls of wire netting and cement. This is Kodjo’s first loan with WAGES and he is requesting 900,000 West African francs, which he will pay back in 12 monthly instalments. This loan will help Kodjo to stock up his shop with materials he is short of, in particular tins of paint, nails and rolls of wire netting. Kodjo, 34, is married with three children. The eldest child, who is eight years old, goes to school with his sibling while the youngest is just one month old. Kodjo’s ambition is to expand his business into a bigger retail outlet and make enough profit to finish building his house.

Original loan request in French

Kodjo vit dans un environnement en pleine mutation où la construction de maisons et d’immeubles se fait au quotidien. Il a profité de cette opportunité pour installer sa petite boutique de vente de produits de quincaillerie. Kodjo est tailleur de formation et exerçait cette activité jusqu’en 2008 où il l’abandonna au profit de sa boutique. Il y vend divers matériaux de construction à savoir des pelles, des peintures, des tuyaux PVC, des clous, des rouleaux de grillage, du ciment et divers autres articles. Kodjo expérimente son tout premier crédit avec WAGES et sollicite 900 000FCFA qu’il s’engage à rembourser en 12 mensualités. Ce prêt est destiné à réapprovisionner sa boutique en matériaux manquants notamment des boites de peintures, des clous et des rouleaux de grillages. Kodjo a 34 ans, est marié et père de 3 enfants dont le premier a 8 ans et le dernier juste 1 mois. Les 2 premiers sont scolarisés. L’ambition de Kodjo est de créer un plus grand point de vente et réaliser assez de profit pour terminer la construction de sa maison.
