Charlotte used to sell fresh tomatoes door-to-door. But two years ago, she abandoned this business and switched to selling various grocery items (canned tomatoes, bicarbonates, pasta, cubes, etc.) She sells her merchandise at TOKPA, the grand international market of Benin, under a shed that she rented from Société de Gestion des Marchés. Her customers grow in number day by day, and she has need of more financing, which she lacks for responding to the demand. This is why she’s requesting a 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.

KOUDOGBO Charlotte est née le 28/12/1987 à GBESSOU un village du Département de l'OUEME dont elle est originaire. Charlotte est mariée et mère d'une fille de deux(2)ans. Charlotte vit avec sa famille à Kowegbo un quartier périphérique de Cotonou, Capitale Économique du Bénin. Charlotte vendait des tomates fraîches de façon ambulante. Mais depuis deux(2)ans Charlotte a abandonné cette activité de vente de tomates fraîches au profit de la vente de divers produits alimentaires (tomates en boîtes, bicarbonates, pâtes alimentaires, cubes, etc.). Charlotte vend ses produits à TOKPA grand marché international du BENIN, sous un hangar qu'elle a loué auprès de la Société de Gestion des Marchés. La clientèle de Charlotte s'accroît au jour le jour et Charlotte a besoin de plus de moyens financiers qu'elle n'en a maintenant pour y répondre. C'est pourquoi Charlotte sollicite de la part de ALIDé un crédit pour mieux satisfaire la demande de sa clientèle.
La signification de ALIDé en langue locale du Bénin, le Fon, est « un chemin existe toujours pour les plus pauvres ». Le Bénin est un petit pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest à coté du Nigeria où le PIB par habitant est à $1,500.
