Zoeline is a 30 year old mother. Her husband is also a grocer (but he runs another grocery). They have two children together, who both attend school. Zoeline opened this first grocery store in 2012. Efforts have been made to grow the business, given the existence of a reliable, sustainable demand. She is currently on her fifth loan with CEFOR.
In order to gain her customers' loyalty, Zoeline wants to increase her stocks - hence this loan request to buy additional bags of rice, flour and sugar, as well as various essential groceries. Her goal : To become a "semi-wholesaler".
