Madeleine AGBDEDEVI, born in 1970, is a widow with three children, ages 16, 13, and 10. She didn't have the opportunity to go to school, but two of her children are in school. She started her business 21 years ago selling cassava flour, yams, and corn. Currently, she makes her own cheese, and she buys soybeans and cassava at the Dantokpa Marketplace. Before Kiva loans, she bought at the retail level, but thanks the loan, she can buy wholesale. Her loan will enable her to reserve her income for covering schooling costs. She would like to focus on selling staple foods in the future because fire is not good for one's health.

AGBDEDEVI Madeleine est née a 1970. Elle est veuve et elle a 3 enfants – 16, 13, et 10 ans. Elle n’a pas eu l’occasion d’aller a l’école, mais deux de ses enfants sont scolarisés. Elle a commencé son commerce il y a 21 ans avec la vente de la farine de manioc, l’igname, et le mais. Actuellement, elle fabrique sa propre fromage, et elle achète les crains de soja et le manioc au Marche Dantokpa. Avant les crédits de Kiva elle a acheté en détaille, mais grâce au crédit elle peut acheter en gros. Le crédit lui a permis de garder ses revenus pour les frais de scolarité. Elle voudrait focaliser sur la vente des vivres dans l’avenir parce que le feu n’est pas bon pour sa santé.

Le crédit accordé par ALIDé à AGBDEDEVI Madeleine a permis à cette dernière d'augmenter le volume de son activité et de produire davantage de fromage. En effet, grâce à ce crédit, la quantité de soja et de manioc achetée a augmenté. Grâce à ses revenus, Madeleine parvient sans grande difficulté à assurer les charges de ses enfants et la scolarisation de ses deux enfants. Madeleine arrive à faire face à ses besoins primaire.
