Minata Coulibaly has two very large tables, overflowing with fruits and vegetables at the Attecoube Market in Abidjan. She does not speak French, only Djula, her tribal language. She is a very strong businesswoman, and has a strong client base due to the high quality and freshness of her products. She buys in bulk from a local distributer. She has never taken a loan from AE&I, but does contribute regularly to her savings account.

Thank you for helping to change the lives of borrowers around the world with Kiva.

Sincerely,

The Kiva Team
