Antoinette Vodoundjo was born November 13, 1974 and has lived for eight years in the Cadjèhoun à Cotonou neighborhood, economic capital of Benin. She is married to Germain Koudedjan, a surveyor, Antoinette has four children in her care, of which three are her own children. Antoinette lives alone with her children who all attend school. The family expenses are shared by German and Antoinette. Having quit her studies very early, Antoinette has dedicated herself to selling shoes, under-garmetns and kitchen salt for twenty years. In fact, Antoinette makes her purchases at Grand-Popo, in Dantokpa (the international market of Benin) and in Lomé in Togo, a neighboring country of Benin. Antoinette sells her items in the Gbégamey market and in Cadjèhoun à Cotonou. Antoinette already has obtained three loans from ALIDé that she repaid well. To grow her business, increase her sales and realize more profits, Antoinette requests a fourth loan of ALIDé.

VODOUNDJO Antoinette est née le 13 Novembre 1974 et réside depuis huit ans au quartier Cadjèhoun à Cotonou, capitale économique du Bénin. Mariée à KOUDEDJAN Germain un géomètre, Antoinette a quatre enfants à sa charge, dont trois sont ses propres enfants. Antoinette vit seule avec ses enfants qui sont tous scolarisés. Les charges de la famille sont supportées à la fois par Germain et Antoinette. Ayant arrêté très tôt les études, Antoinette s’est mise depuis vingt ans dans la vente de chaussures, de sous-vêtements et de sel de cuisine. En effet, Antoinette fait ses emplettes à Grand-Popo, à Dantokpa (marché international du Bénin) et à Lomé au Togo, État voisin du Bénin. Antoinette vend ses articles au marché Gbégamey et à Cadjèhoun à Cotonou. Antoinette a déjà obtenu trois crédits de ALIDé qu’elle a bien remboursés. Pour augmenter le niveau de son activité afin d’augmenter son chiffre d’affaire et de réaliser plus de bénéfices, Antoinette sollicite un quatrième crédit de ALIDé.
