Loan description:

Sélifa is 58 years old. She is married to a truck driver and is a mother to five children, aged from 2 to 22. The couple live in Agoè, close to the national police station. Tenacious and engaged, Sélifa has remained committed to the business that she has run for the past twenty years; she sells spices. Thanks to her profits and her husband’s job, they are able to maintain the education of all their children and feed the whole family. Conscious of her capital, Sélifa wants to strengthen her business and achieve greater results. In order to do this, she is seeking her first loan from WAGES for 1,000,000 West African francs, which she will repay over a maximum period of 15 months. With this sum she plans to expand her stocks of spices and other items; notably garlic, ginger and onions which she purchases from suppliers in Niger. In the future, Sélifa wants to become one of the largest suppliers of spices in Lomé and enable a higher quality of schooling for her children.

Original loan request in French:

Sélifa a 58 ans, est mariée à un conducteur de camion et est mère de cinq enfants dont l’ainé a vingt-deux ans et le plus jeune, deux ans. Le couple est domicilié à Agoè près de la gendarmerie nationale. Tenace et engagée, elle est restée fidèle à la commercialisation d’épices, activité qu’elle a entamé depuis une vingtaine d’années déjà. Grâce à ce commerce assez rentable, Sélifa arrive, avec le concours de son conjoint à assurer les études de ses cinq enfants et à bien nourrir toute la famille.

Consciente du trésor qu’elle détient, elle voudrait plus renforcer son activité en vue de la réalisation d’un meilleur résultat. Elle veut pour ce faire, emprunter auprès de Wages, pour la toute première, une somme de 1000 000FCFA redevable sur une échéance maximale de quinze mois. Avec cette somme, elle va pouvoir s’approvisionner en épices notamment en sacs d’ail, de gingembre, et ognons auprès de ses fournisseurs du Niger.

A l’avenir, elle veut devenir l’un des plus grands fournisseurs d’épices de Lomé et assurer une meilleure scolarité à ses enfants.
