Loan description:
Aged 70, Dofinin is married and has four children to look after – they are all at school. For more than 40 years, she has worked as a manufacturer of red oil, which she makes from palm nuts in a production unit in her house. The majority of the oil she produces is stocked and delivered to wholesalers and retailers at the market in Ikpinlè.. Dofinin sources her stocks of palm nuts from the fields of Adja-Ouèrè. Besides producing red oil, Dofinin also produces gari, a common carbohydrate staple in West Africa. Having been a beneficiary of the products of the microfinance organisation ACFB for several years, she is currently seeking a loan for 500,000 West African francs to expand her stock of palm nuts. The ensuing profit from this trade will help Dofinin to increase her capital, contribute towards household costs and save for the purchase of her own plot of land.
