This young man has opened a stand selling rechargeable phone cards and providing a telephone booth. He began this work in 2007 in Lomé, and the business allows him to support himself. He has accounts with two cell phone providers in Lomé, Togocel and Moov, which allows him a good reduction in cost. Young women who sell his cards walking to and fro in the streets come to buy them from him, and that brings in a tidy profit. In order to put in a new order, he is requesting a loan from WAGES to buy a considerable number of recharge cards for Togocel and Moov. He is single and has no children.

Translated from French by Teresa Kramer, Kiva Volunteer


Ce jeune homme a ouvert une baraque de vente de cartes de recharges servant également lieu de cabine téléphonique. Il a débuté ce commerce depuis 2007 à Lomé et cette activité lui permet de subvenir à ses propres besoins. Il s’est abonné auprès des deux prestataires de téléphonie mobile à Lomé, à savoir Togocel et Moov, ce qui lui permet de bénéficier de beaucoup de réduction. Des revendeuses ambulantes de ces cartes viennent s’approvisionner chez lui, ce qui lui permet de réaliser de bonnes affaires. Pour lancer une nouvelle commande, il sollicite un crédit de WAGES pour acheter en nombre considérable des cartes de recharges Togocel et Moov. Il est célibataire et sans enfant.
