Loan description:

Fatima, 30, is married with 2 children; one is a pupil at school while the other is still a young infant. For about 5 years, Fatima has run her own business producing gari – a carbohydrate staple made from cassava flour that is popular in West Africa. In order to facilitate the production process, Fatima employs 4 people that she pays well once the production process is complete. All of the gari that she produces is delivered in wholesale 100kg sacks. With clients outside of the village – in particular wholesalers in Nigeria – Fatima is able to easily manage the sale of what she produces. Having been a beneficiary of the microfinance organisation ACFB for several years, she is currently seeking a loan for 500,000 West African francs so that she can strengthen her business by expanding the stocks of cassava at her production unit. As usual, Fatima will use the ensuing profits from this loan to meet her current household costs, to save for her own plot of land and to start work on the construction of her house.

Original loan request in french:

Mère de 02 enfants dont un élève et un nourrisson, Madame KOUAÏSSI est mariée et est âgée de 30 ans. Elle est fabricante du gari ‘’Farine du manioc’’ et exerce cette activité depuis environ 05 années. Pour faciliter la gestion de sa production, elle embauche 04 employés qu’elle paie convenablement à la fin de la production. Toute sa production est livrée en gros dans des sacs de 100 kg. Ayant ses clients potentiels hors du village c'est-à-dire des grossistes du Nigéria, Fatiman arrive à très bien faire écouler sa production de gari. Bénéficiaire des produits de l’ACFB depuis plusieurs années, le présent prêt d’un montant de 500.000FCFA consisterait à renforcer son commerce et à s’approvisionner en manioc pour son unité de production. Le profit dégagé de ce prêt comme à l’accoutumée l’aiderait à faire face aux dépenses courantes de la maison puis à épargner afin d’acheter une parcelle et commencer la construction de sa maison.
