Komlan Houngninou

Born in 1979, Komlan HOUNGNINOU is married and the father of two. He works primarily as an engine mechanic of motorbikes. He also takes care of his apprentice younger brother and his wife, who is paralyzed due to a long illness. This situation used to compel him at times to turn to loan sharks, who made his situation worse. He has since benefited from a $350 loan, which he repaid without a problem because the interest rates on it were sharply lower than what the loan sharks were charging.

Mr. HOUNGNINOU is requesting a new loan of $800 to set up a new, bigger, and better-equipped workshop. This loan will be very useful for opening his workshop and will have a very positive impact on his income, which will be reflected in his family's living conditions.

Translated from French by Daniel Kuey, Kiva volunteer:

Né en 1979, Monsieur HOUNGNINOU Komlan est marié et père de deux enfants. Son activité principale est la mécanique des engins à deux roues. Il a également à sa charge son petit frère en apprentissage et sa femme paralysée suite à une longue maladie. Cette situation l’obligea à avoir recours de temps à autre aux usuriers qui l’ont ruiné d’avantage. Il bénéficia ainsi d’un crédit de $350 qu’il remboursa sans aucune difficulté puisque le taux d’intérêt était nettement inférieur à celui des usuriers.

Il sollicite de nouveau ce crédit de $800 afin de pouvoir mettre en place un nouvel atelier plus grand et plus équipé. Ce crédit lui sera très utile pour l’ouverture de son atelier et aura un impact très positif sur son revenu, ce qui se répercutera sur les conditions de vie de sa famille.
