A loan helped to buy various goods to resell.


Henriette's story

Mrs. Henriette seized the opportunity to join the "Banc Villageois" which was established in her area in April 1997. She contributes a lot to the development of her community by being active in trade and she has a good expertise in loans. Henriette is 61 years old, she is married and has seven children, one of whom is a boy, and all of whom are in school. She sells various goods (fabrics, sheets and cosmetic products). She buys her supplies at the central market to resell in her village at home. She has a very good experience of about 30 years in the sector.

With this new loan, she plans to buy sheets, curtains and cosmetic products. She has built up a loyal clientele because she offers good products on credit.

Her profits will allow her to strengthen her savings and to participate in the financial management of the family.
