Mrs. Léa GBEYETIN was born in Cotonou and comes from Zè (Atlantique Department). She lost her husband, Colonel Jean-Pierre Batchéoumba, nine years ago and has eight children. Mrs. Léa GBEYETIN resells various staples : soap, perfumes, liquor, pasta, canned food, etc. In the beginning, she used to sell shoes and pagnes (colorful African cloth) in the grand market Dantokpa in Cotonou. Following her husband's death, she stopped her business. Three years ago, she started her new business. The third loan she's seeking now aims at bolstering her inventory to better meet customer demand.

Dame GBEYETIN Léa est née à Cotonou et est originaire de Zè dans le départemnt de l'Atlantique. Veuve de Batchéoumba Jean-Pierre (un colonnel) il y a neuf ans, elle a huit enfants. Dame GBEYETIN Léa est revendeuse de divers articles de grande consommation: savons, eaux de toilettes, liqueurs, pâtes alimentaires, boîtes de conserves, etc. Au départ, elle vendait les chaussures et pagnes au grand marché Dantokpa de Cotonou. Suite au décès de son mari, elle cessa toute activité. Il y a trois ans, elle reprit son petit commerce en faisant cette fois-ci un changement d'activité. Le troisième crédit qu'elle sollicite maintenant vise à consolider son étalage pour mieux satisfaire la demande de sa clientèle.
