Loan description:

Abla is 49 years old and a married mother to five children. She lives in the suburb of Edigbokele in Atakpamé with her husband and their children. Her youngest child is ten years old, whilst the eldest is 26. All her children have been educated or are in education. Abla herself is a retailer in the ingredients used to make bread. She travels regularly to Cotonou and to Lomé where she stocks up on a whole variety of ingredients used in breadmaking. Her products are very much appreciated by the bakers in the outer suburbs who must travel every day to source the stock ingredients that are indispensable to making high quality bread. Abla started engaging with the microfinance organisation WAGES two years ago and has already benefitted from two loans for 300,000 and 400,000 West African francs respectively – she paid them both back appropriately. It is with the aim of expanding her stock and thus improving her sales, which is now much more significant than before, that she is requesting this new loan for 600,000 West African francs, repayable in twelve instalments. Abla has run her business for close to five years now. In order to launch it, she resold the bread that she had purchased from other bakers. She hopes to be able to make enough money to ensure the sustainability of her business and to furnish her home.

Original loan request in French:

Abla a 49 ans, est mariée et mère de 5 enfants. Elle habite la banlieue d’Edigbokele à Atakpamé avec son mari et leurs enfants. Son plus jeune enfant a 10 ans et l’ainé, 26. Ils sont tous scolarisés. Elle est revendeuse d’ingrédients servant à la fabrication du pain. Elle voyage régulièrement à Cotonou et à Lomé où elle s’approvisionne en différentes variétés d’ingrédients du pain. Ses produits sont très appréciés des boulangers des quartiers périphériques qui se déplacent chaque jour pour s’approvisionner en ces ingrédients indispensables pour un pain de qualité.

Abla est entrée en relation avec WAGES il y a 2 ans et a déjà bénéficié de 2 crédits de 300 000FCFA et 400 000FCFA qu’elle a bien remboursés. C’est dans le but d’acheter un stock de marchandises beaucoup plus important que les précédents afin de réaliser de meilleurs résultats qu’elle sollicite ce nouveau crédit de 600 000FCFA remboursable en 12 mensualités.

Abla exerce cette activité depuis bientôt 5 ans. Avant de se lancer dans ce commerce, elle revendait des pains qu’elle achetait auprès d’autres boulangères.

Elle espère pouvoir réaliser assez de bénéfice pour assurer la pérennité de son commerce et aménager son habitat.
