Ms. Ade Odile D. was born December 13, 1960 in Lomé, in the Golfe prefecture. She is a married mother of two who also takes care of another individual. Ms. D. sells various products at the market in Nukafu. Her husband is a retired teacher, but due to his small pension, he is no longer able to take financial responsibility for his family. She thus has to use her income to help them, and this situation creates constant hardship for the family. As Ms. Odile D. would like to become a wholesaler, she needs to increase her capital. She does not have the money to do so, so she is requesting a loan of $800, which will allow her to buy and sell various products. This loan will allow her to earn a maximum profit, which will help her to better take responsibility for her family.

Madame D. Ade Odile est née le 13 décembre 1960 à Lomé dans la préfecture du Golfe. Elle est mariée et mère de deux (2) enfants avec une personne en charge. Son mari est un enseignant à la retraite. Madame D. est commerçante de produits divers au marché Nukafu. Son mari n’arrive plus à assumer financièrement ses responsabilités, à cause des pensions qui sont insignifiantes. Madame D. Odile est alors obligée de mettre son revenu à la disposition de la famille. Face à cette situation, la famille est toujours en difficulté. Voulant exercer maintenant un commerce de grossiste, elle est obligée d’augmenter son fond de commerce. Faute de moyen, elle sollicite un crédit de $800 qui lui permettra d'acheter et de vendre des produits divers. Ce crédit lui permettra de réaliser un profit maximum qui l’aidera à mieux assumer sa responsabilité vis-à-vis de la famille.
