Born and raised in Tori Bossito in the township of Abomey-Calavi in a farming family, Mrs. Albertine Troukou did not have the good fortune to be able to go to school. Her older sister, now deceased, taught her how to sell corn (maize), gari (cassava flour), and condiments at a young age. She continued this business on her own account, adding the sale of coco yams.



Five months ago, she began to sell fried yams with bean fritters. She is requesting this loan of 150,000 F CFA to diversify her stock of condiments and reinforce her sales of corn and gari by buying 2 jerry cans of oil, 1 basket of coco yams, 1/2 sack of dried beans, 4 baskets of tomatoes, 5 boxes of Maggi cubes, and 1/2 sack of onions. Married to an auto-mechanic, Mathieu Amoussou Oke, she has 3 children.

TROUKOU Abertine est arrivée à mieux développer ses activités grâce au crédit d'ALIDé qu'elle a eu. En effet, en plus de haricot et de la farine de manioc, Albertine vend maintenant du riz, de sorgho, des tubercules d'igname, etc. Aussi, Albertine vend beaucoup d'autres produits alimentaires: légumes, piments, tomates fraîche, etc. C'est ainsi que Albertine a pu relever le niveau de ses activités.
