A native of Porto-Novo, the political capital of Benin, Mrs. Marie Gisèle Agassousi was born in 1968 in Cotonou. Married to Albert Acclombessi, entrepreneur, she is the mother of 6 children. After she failed the Primary School Leaving Certificate, she helped her mother sell various items: soap, tinned foods, fruit. Then she did an apprenticeship in sewing layettes for three years.



Marie Gisèle received her diploma at the end of this course and, while plying her trade, she has also opened a shop where she sells various sewing necessities. She is requesting this third loan in the amount of 150,000 F CFA to bolster her business by diversifying and selling soy and oil.
