Omega Group's story

Adolphine is a client of IMF Hekima and president of the "Omega" groupe villageoise. She is 51 years old, married and the mother of six children. Three of them go to school and three of them are independent. Her spouse is unemployed.

She sells used clothing. She started the business in 2005 with start-up funds she got from friends. Later she joined the Hekima program to support her business which over the course of time has improved progressively. With this new loan she will stock up on second hand clothing which will reinforce her initial capital. Her business has no challenges currently.

She wants her children to go to school and she would like to purchase a plot of land. Finally she would like to thank Hekima and it's partners for the support they provide unbanked business owners.
