Agossou Amouzou

At the age of 46, Mr. Agossou Amouzou is married and the father of 7 children. He is a farmer and also sells dried red chili peppers as a secondary business. His soil is becoming expended and capricious weather has contributed to make his harvests smaller and smaller. Since he has to support his family, he is asking for a loan in the amount of US$ 300 to get his dried chili pepper business up and running again. This amount will permit him to keep a constant stock available to sell in times of shortage. The income from this venture will allow him to take care of his family's needs and lead a peaceful life.

A l’âge de 46 ans, Monsieur AMOUZOU Agossou est marié et père de sept (07) enfants. Cultivateur de profession, il fait aussi comme seconde activité la vente du piment séché. La dégradation de son sol et les caprices de la nature ont rendu son rendement de plus en plus médiocre. Etant dans l’obligation de subvenir aux besoins de la famille, il sollicite un financement de $300 pour relancer son commerce de piments séché. Ceci lui permettra de faire un stockage consistant pour la vente en période de pénurie. Les revenus issus de la vente lui permettront de s’occuper de sa famille et de mener une vie paisible.
