Thèophiline is married and has four children. Her youngest daughter is four years old and will soon start her first year of school. Thèophiline was born in Porto-Novo, the capital of Benin. There she makes a living selling eggs and fabrics. She buys her eggs on Mondays and Fridays from a chicken farm near Porto-Novo and sells them to passersby on the street. Thèophiline's secondary work is the sale of fabrics. She sells from her home to people who need clothes for ceremonies like weddings and funerals. Her customers use these Beninese fabrics, which are called pagnes, as formal attire for important events.

Thèophiline is seeking her third loan from Alide, a Kiva Field Partner in Benin, in order to purchase eggs and fabrics. She would like to expand her fabric sales because demand is high. Thèophiline hopes to use this loan to increase her revenues.
