AGASSOUNON Cécile is born in 1973 and has been living in the Cadjehoun neighborhood in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin for ten years. She is married to YEHO Antonin, a moto-taxi driver. The couple has two children, all in school and at their expense. Cécile is an illiterate and she started very early in the sale of various types of large spoons. Infact, Cécile has been selling the spoons from door to door in Dantokpa, the international market of Benin, for thirty years. Cécile buys these items at Abomey, the historic town of Benin. Cecile already obtained three loans from ALIDé that she repaid correctly. To grow her trade and make more savings, Cecile once again approached ALIDé to obtain a fourth loan.

AGASSOUNON Cécile est née en 1973 et réside depuis dix ans au quartier Cadjèhoun à Cotonou, capitale économique du Bénin. Cécile s’est mariée à YEHO Antonin, un conducteur de taxi- moto. Le couple a deux enfants, tous scolarisés et à leur charge. Cécile est une analphabète et s’est très tôt mise dans la vente de grandes cuillères de tous genres. En effet, Cécile vend de façon ambulante depuis trente ans des cuillères à Dantokpa, marché international du Bénin. Cécile achète ces articles à Abomey, ville historique du Bénin. Cécile a déjà obtenu de ALIDé, trois crédits qu’elle a bien remboursés. Pour agrandir son commerce et réaliser plus d’économies, Cécile s’est rapprochée encore une fois de ALIDé pour obtenir un quatrième crédit.
