Loan description:

Single and without children, Pascaline is 38 years old and has run a hairdressing business for 16 years. She manages this business with one employee who earns a monthly salary of 15,000 West African francs and alongside two children in her charge. In addition to this, she sells toys, fabrics, hairpieces and other hair products. Her expertise in hairdressing and the welcoming atmosphere she creates has lead to a steady increase in customers on a daily basis. She restocks at the large market of Dantokpa. Pascaline has already reaped the benefit of several loans from the microfinance organisation ACFB; she has always ably repaid them. With the loan for 400,000 West African francs that Pascaline obtained from Lendwithcare in 2011, she was able to expand her stock through purchases from the market at Lomé in Togo. In this way she has been able to increase her financial capabilities and begin a trade from a second shop where she sells aluminium items such as casseroles, basins and buckets. She is currently seeking a loan from Lendwithcare for 800,000 West African francs so that she can strengthen her business by expanding her stock. With this money she would purchase ten dozen casserole dishes in a series of different sizes, a high quality hairdryer, hair pieces, wigs and a variety of hair products. The ensuing benefit of this would be to enable Pascaline to take better care of the children in her charge.

Original loan request in French:

Célibataire sans enfant, EDJEKPAN Pascaline a 38 ans et exerce l’activité de la coiffure depuis environ 16 ans. Elle gère son atelier avec une ouvrière embauchée dont le salaire mensuel est de 15 000F et deux élèves à charge. Elle associe à cette activité la vente de jouets, pagnes, des mèches et autres produits de coiffure. Le bon accueil des clients et la maîtrise de la coiffure lui font gagner chaque jour un peu plus de clients. Elle se ravitaille sur le grand marché du Bénin (Dantokpa). Elle a déjà bénéficié de plusieurs crédits à l’ACFB et a toujours bien remboursé. Avec le crédit de 400 000F qu’elle a obtenu de lendwithcare en 2011, dame Pascaline a pu se ravitailler sur le marché de Lomé (Togo). Ainsi elle a réalisé plus de bénéfice et augmenté sa capacité financière et a commencé le commerce des objets en aluminium (casserole, bassine, seaux, …) pour sa deuxième boutique. Elle sollicite à présent un crédit de 800 000F de lendwithcare pour la renforcer dans ce commerce en achetant 10 douzaines de casseroles en série de différentes tailles, un séchoir de meilleure qualité, des mèches, perruques, des défrisant et autres produits de coiffure. Le bénéfice réalisé lui permettra de mieux s’occuper des enfants qui sont à sa charge.
