Born in 1987 in Gavi-Kopé in the prefecture of Zio in the south of Togo, Mrs. Ami Tessou is married and the mother of a child. This young woman has known only agriculture as a job since her youth, principally growing a sort of very succulent chufa (groundnut) commonly called "efio" in Togo. This "efio" is much sought after in the marketplace and everyone loves to eat it. So it is through this agricultural business that Ami manages to help her husband support the family.



Presently, her arable land is expended and needs fertilizer. This is why she is requesting a loan to buy fertilizer and other agricultural intrants. This will allow her to expand her yield and her agricultural revenue.

Translated from French by Teresa Kramer, Kiva Volunteer


Née en 1987 à Gavi-Kopé dans la préfecture de Zio au Sud du Togo, Mme Ami TESSOU est mariée et est mère d’un (01) enfant. C’est une jeune femme qui ne connaît comme activité que l’agriculture dès le bas age, principalement la culture d’une amande de terre très succulente appelée communément « EFIO » au Togo. C’est une amende très prisée sur le marché et dont raffolent les population. C’est donc à travers cette activité agricole qu’elle arrive à soutenir son mari dans la prise en charge des besoins de la famille. Actuellement ses terres cultivables sont très pauvres et nécessitent l’apport de fertilisants. C’est pourquoi elle sollicite un crédit pour l’achat des engrais et d’autres intrants agricoles. Cela lui permettra d’augmenter ses rendements et ses revenus agricoles.
