Komla Dogba is a 37-year-old man, married, and a father. He runs a shop, "Etablissement Ventout" in Kpalimé, one of the biggest cities in Togo. He sells various items, and he has an apprentice who works with him (see photo). Komla wishes to use these Kiva funds to increase the capacity of his enterprise by buying Togocell prepaid cell phone cards, soap, wristwatches, and other goods for retail sale. He has already had success with FECECAV loans, so he hopes to repay this loan in only one month! He hopes to continue to improve the quality of life for his family by the profits he is going to make selling his merchandise.
