Mrs. Rachelle SOKENOU was born on March 22, 1970 in Porto-Novo, the political capital of Benin, and is married to Casimir BODEHOUSSE who is a teacher. They have two children who both attend school. She has lived with her husband in the family home in the Sènadé II neighborhood of Cotonou for over 10 years. She runs a business selling food products and cloth tunics (pagnes) in front of her house. As an initial loan she received 60,000 CFA Francs ($150). She has since added the sale of cosmetics to her business activities and she is requesting 150,000 CFA Francs ($375) to lay in supplies.

Le crédit que Rachelle SOKENOU a eu de ALIDé lui a permis de développer son activité de vente de produits cosmétiques. Rachelle va elle-même à Lomé, Capitale de TOGO, pays frontalier au Bénin pour acheter ses produits cosmétiques parce que ces produits coûtent beaucoup moins chers là-bas.
