AZIAHOUNKOUI Albertine was born around 1957. She is the mother of five children, three of whom are in school and in her care. She is married to CODO TOSSOU Pierre, who is employed as a mechanic at the University of Abomey Calavi. Albertine lives with her family in the Akpakpa Dodomè district in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin. She sells various goods and cosmetics in her shop in Akpakpa Dodomè. She buys her merchandise from retailers in Cotonou at the grand international market of Benin.


To grow her capital and to be able to make purchases from wholesalers, she turned toward Alidé. She has had fourteen loans with Alidé that she has repaid. These loans were used to raise her business to a level at which it is today. Her plan is to diversify her business by selling grains. To realize this plan, she's requesting a fifteen loan from Alidé.


ALIDÉ means “there is always a path for the poorest” in Benin’s local language of Fon. Benin is a small West African country located next to Nigeria and has a per capita GDP of $1,500.
