Loan description:

Antoine is a young man of 24 years of age. Together with his wife, who is a retailer, and their two children he has moved to the neighbourhood of Agbo. His two children, aged 2 and 5, go to the local school. Antoine used to be a taxi driver, but he stopped doing this about a year ago so that he could invest himself in another business. At present, he manages a restaurant and bar called St Antoine, which is located on the national route number 1 near the hotel, Sahelien. He sells lots of drinks (coca-cola, lemonade, rose and grapefruit pop and Fanta lemon) including local drinks such as ‘liha’ which is made from maize. The food served in the restaurant includes smoked fish and chicken, salad, potatoes, fufu, pate (a dough staple) with African sauces, many of which are specific to their locality. Antoine sources his stock from Atakpamé and employs one person. He has been involved with the microfinance organisation WAGES for one year. He is now seeking his first loan for 600,000 West African francs so that he can expand his stock of fizzy drinks, tomatoes, spices, cucumbers, lettuce, frozen fish, meat, cassava, yams and corn. He will repay this loan in 12 instalments. Antoine really hopes he will be able to improve his bar and restaurant so that he can ensure self-sufficiency for his family.
