Kossi Agbakou

Kossi AGBAKOU, age 28, dropped out of middle school due to a lack of financial support and entered into an apprenticeship in tailoring. Unmarried and without any children, he takes care of his parents and two younger brothers as dependents. The income from his poorly equipped shop fails to cover household expenses. He is requesting a second loan of $850, now that he has paid back his first one. With this new loan, for acquiring sewing machines and fabric to make ready-to-wear clothing, he intends to do more to improve his family's living conditions.

Agé de 28 ans, Monsieur AGBAKOU Kossi a cessé ses études au collège par manque de support financier et s’est lancé dans l’apprentissage de couture. Célibataire sans enfant, il a à sa charge ses parents et deux petits frères. Les revenus de son atelier peu équipé n’arrivant pas à couvrir les dépenses faites dans son foyer. Il sollicite un second crédit de $850 après avoir bien remboursé le premier. Par ce nouveau crédit qui servira à l’achat des machines à coudre et des tissus pour la confection des habits prêt-à-porter, il pense contribuer davantage à l’amélioration des conditions de vie de sa famille.
