Loan description:

Silifatou, 60, is a widow and mother of 3 children who are all at school. For nearly 8 years, she has been a manufacturer of red oil, which she makes from palm nuts in a small production unit in her home. The large majority of the red oil produced is stocked and delivered to prioritised wholesalers and retailers at the markets in Ikpinlè and Mowodani. Silifatou sources her stocks of palm nuts from the fields of Adja-Ouèrè. In order to develop her production business, she employs 6 people. Silifatou also runs a trade selling a diverse range of other products. Having been a beneficiary of the services of the microfinance organisation ACFB for several years, she is currently seeking a loan for 450,000 West African francs so that she can expand her stocks; chiefly in palm nuts. The ensuing profit from this loan will enable Silifatou to better maintain her household; that is to say to save for the further development of the business and to support the schooling of her children – who she must look after on her own.

Original loan request in French:

Veuve et mère de 03 enfants tous des élèves, Silifatou est âgée de 60 ans. Depuis près de huit ans, elle est fabricante de l’huile rouge fait à base des noix de palme dans sa petite unité de production à la maison. La plus grande partie de sa production d’huile de palme est stocké et livrée en priorité aux grossistes et au détaillant du marché d’Ikpinlè et celui de Mowodani. Dame RAFIOU s’approvisionne en noix de palme à dans les champs d’Adja-Ouèrè. Pour accroitre sa production, elle embauche 06 personnes. A cette activité, elle ajoute son commerce de vente de divers produits. Bénéficiaire des produits de l’ACFB depuis plusieurs années, le présent prêt d’un montant de 450.000 FCFA l’aiderait pour l’approvisionnement des noix de palme puis à l’achat des produits divers. Le bénéfice issu de ce prêt servirait à mieux entretenir son foyer c'est-à-dire à soutenir ses enfants dans sa scolarisation vu qu’elle s’en occupe seule mais surtout à économiser pour accroitre son commerce.
