Born in 1964 in Porto-Novo, Mr. AHOUANGNIMON Barthélemy resides in Porto-Novo, the administrative and political capital of Bénin. He is the father of three children, of whom two are in school. Barthélemy is an electronics technician and has made this trade his principal work. It brings in the revenues that help him to earn his living. Since electronics is a field requiring significant means, he lacks enough funds enabling him to satisfy the large number of customers and to earn enough to meet his various responsibilities. Thus, to make his workshop more competitive, Barthélemy is requesting a loan.


Alidé means “there is always a path for the poorest” in Benin’s local language of Fon. Benin is a small West African country located next to Nigeria and has a per capita GDP of $1,500. Alidé offers special loans to highly vulnerable people at an interest rate of 0%. It is part of a group that is soon launching a micro health insurance program for micro-loan recipients.

Translated from French by Dan Kuey, Kiva Volunteer


Né en 1964 à Porto-Novo, AHOUANGNIMON Barthélemy réside dans le 3e arrondissement de la ville de Porto-Novo, capitale administrative et politique-Porto Novo-du Bénin. Barthélemy est père de trois (03) enfants dont deux (02) sont scolarisés. Barthélemy est un technicien en électronique et en a fait son activité principale. Cette activité lui procure des revenus l’aidant à gagner sa vie. L’électronique étant une activité qui nécessite de grands moyens, Barthélemy ne dispose pas assez de fonds pouvant lui permettre de satisfaire le grand nombre de clients et se faire plus de revenus à la hauteur de ses différentes charges. C’est donc pour rendre plus performant son atelier que Barthélemy sollicite un crédit.

La signification de ALIDé en langue locale du Bénin, le Fon, est « un chemin existe toujours pour les plus pauvres ». Le Bénin est un petit pays de l’Afrique de l’Ouest à coté du Nigeria où le PIB par habitant est à $1,500. ALIDé offre les prêts spéciaux de 0% d’intérêt aux personnes très vulnérables et elle est dans un groupe qui lance bientôt un programme de la micro-assurance santé pour les bénéficiaires de micro crédit.
