In 2001, this lady started selling smoked fish, a business that is very profitable for her. Smoked fish is used in Togolese cuisine for making sauces with adémé (a leafy green vegetable), okra, or tomatoes. Many women come and buy from her. She sells on credit to her most loyal customers and collects the money in a week’s time. She’s coping with inventory shortages and would like resupply herself, so she’s asking WAGES for her first loan to buy three baskets of smoked fish.


She is married and the mother of seven. With what she earns from her business, she helps her husband with day-to-day household expenses.

Translated from French by Dan Kuey, Kiva Volunteer


Cette dame a commencé depuis 2001 la vente de poissons fumés, ce commerce est très rentable pour elle. Le poisson fumé est utilisé dans la cuisine togolaise pour préparer des sauces telles que l’adémé, la sauce gombo, la sauce tomate. Beaucoup de femmes viennent acheter chez elle, elle vend à crédit à ses plus fidèles clientes et récupère l’argent dans les 8 jours. Elle fait face à une rupture de stock et voudrait se réapprovisionner alors elle demande à WAGES son premier crédit pour acheter 03 paniers de poissons fumés.
Elle est mariée et mère de 07 enfants. Avec ce qu’elle gagne de son commerce elle aide son époux dans les charges quotidiennes du foyer.
