A loan helped to buy fabric, purses, and shoes to resell.


Madeleine Diminga's story

Mis Madeleine Diminga, who is around 40, is a single mother of three children, the oldest of whom is 22 years old. She works at an inn between 8am-4pm and has spent her free time selling fabrics, purses, and shoes for six years.

She needs 300,000F to buy around twenty purses and shoes and a variety of fabrics that she will be able to sell from her workplace and her neighborhood.

With her profits and her salary, she takes care of her children and helps with household expenses, since she lives with her parents.
Madeleine Diminga wants to one day be a large seller, a business woman, to be autonomous and acquire her own home.
