Alphonse Djodji

Mr. Alphonse Djodji is 35 years old and lives in the village of Avégloédjigan in the prefecture of Vo. With two people to support, he draws his income essentially from providing a service. What he does is go from village to village grating cassava for the local growers. But the mill does not belong to him and he has to make a tally at the end of each day and make do with what is left over. With his experience in this matter, it has become clear that this could be a very profitable activity if the machine belonged to him. He therefore aspires to buying a mill for grating cassava, with which he will improve his income and his quality of life. To do this, he is asking for a loan of $1,200.

Monsieur DJODJI Alphonse est âgé de 35 ans et vit dans le village d’Avégloédjigan dans la préfecture de Vo. Ayant deux (2) personnes en charge, il tire ses revenus essentiellement de ses prestations de services. En effet, il circule de village en village pour râper le manioc aux populations productrices. Mais le moulin ne l’appartient pas et il doit faire le compte à chaque fin de journée et se contente du surplus. Avec son expérience en la matière, il s’est rendu à l’évidence que c’est une activité très rentable si la machine lui appartenait. Ainsi, il aspire à l’achat d’un moulin râpeuse de manioc avec lequel il aura à améliorer son revenu et sa qualité de vie. Pour ce faire, il demande un crédit de $1200.
