YETONGNON Jeanne was born on March 26, 1973 in Adjohoun, a small village in OUEME County, to where she traces her roots. She is the mother of three children, a boy and two girls who are all in school. She lives with her family in AGBODJEDO, a district of Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin.

Jeanne used to sell firewood, charcoal, and corn retail out of her house. The local marketplaces outside the the city of Cotonou is where she stock up with these different goods. Her husband covers family expenses, so she is managing to improve her business by investing her revenues into it. Jeanne has already had three ALIDÉ loans and has indeed repaid them, having used them to raise her business to a higher level. Again now, she's requesting a fourth loan from ALIDÉ to increase her business volume in order to respond better to the demands of her customers, who are continuously increasing.
