Coming from Avrankou in Ouémé Province, Mrs. Edith Kodjo has been a widow for 6 years and has three children, of whom the younger two are still in her care. After she left off attending school in 8th grade, she began to sell vegetables and then gasoline. For the past 6 years, she has specialized in traditional body care, caring for nails, feet, and putting nail polish on hands. Moreover, she sells the traditional porridge made of corn (maize) commonly known as "akpan". Currently she is out of nail polish and especially out of corn. For that reason, she is asking for this, her third loan of 120,000 F CFA to consolidate her business.

Translated from French by Teresa Kramer, Kiva Volunteer


Originaire d'Avrankou dans le département de l'Ouémé, dame KODJO Edith est veuve depuis 06 ans et a 03 enfants dont les deux derniers sont encore à sa charge. Après l'abandon des classes en 4ème, elle s'est mise à vendre des légumes puis ensuite du pétrole. Depuis 6 ans elle s'est spécialisée dans l'esthétique traditionnel qui consiste à faire les soins des ongles des pieds et des mains avec du vernis. En plus de cela, elle vend de la bouillie traditionnelle à base de maïs communément appelée "akpan". Elle est actuellement en rupture de stock de vernis et surtout de maïs. C'est pour cette raison qu'elle sollicite ce troisième prêt de 120000fcfa pour consolider son activité.

KODJO Edith a utilisé le crédit qu'elle a eu de Kiva pour s'approvisionner en plusieurs gammes de vernis d'ongle pour mieux satisfaire sa clientèle. Edith a pu constituer aussi un important stock de maïs pour la bouillie avec une partie de ce crédit. Ainsi Edith a commencé par réaliser plus de ventes que d'habitude.
