Madam Yvonne is a client of Hekima microfinance institution and leads the "Les Cheribins" Village Group. She is 59 years old and married with eight children, all of whom attend school. Her spouse is unemployed.
Madam Yvonne sells foodstuffs, a business she set up twenty years ago with start-up funds provided by her husband. Later on, she joined the Hekima program to support her business, during which it has grown gradually. With this new loan, she is going to stock up with four sacks of beans, which will increase her working capital. The challenge faced by her business is due to unsafe roads.
Madam Yvonne would like her children to continue their studies and she also wants to feed her family. Finally, she wishes to thank Hekima and its partners for supporting owners of businesses lacking access to conventional banking facilities during the global crisis linked to Covid-19.
