Olga D'almedia was born in 1980 in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin. Olga has lived in Cadjehoun, a district in Cotonou, for 29 years. She is married to Emmanuel Honhonou, a weaver, and is mother of two children who are both in school. The couple shares responsibility for the family's expenses. Olga has not yet had the opportunity to go to school, but for nearly 20 years, she has gone door-to-door to sell fabrics, bags, and soap in her district and at the market. Olga buys her supplies in Lomé, Togo, neighboring country of Benin. Olga has already received two loans that she repaid in full to Alidé. She is requesting a third loan through Alidé to increase her business and provide for her children.

D'ALMEIDA Olga est née en 1980 à Cotonou, capitale économique du Bénin. Olga vit à cadjehoun, un quartier de Cotonou, depuis vingt neuf ans. Mariée à HONHONOU Emmanuel un tisserand, Olga est mère de deux enfants tous scolarisés. Le couple supporte ensemble les charges de la famille. Olga n'a pas eu la chance d'aller à l'école, mais depuis près de vingt ans, Olga vend de façon ambulante des tissus, des sacs et des savons dans son quartier et au marché. Olga s'approvisionne à Lomé au Togo, État voisin du Bénin. Olga a déjà obtenu deux crédits qu'elle a bien remboursés à ALIDé. Pour agrandir son commerce et assurer l'évolution de ses enfants, Olga sollicite à nouveau un troisième crédit auprès de ALIDé.
