Florence's story

Florence lives in downtown Antsirabe with her husband and their two children. She is 39 years old and passionate about cooking, which she has turned into an income source. She has had a food stall for a few years near their home. This business enables her to meet family needs.

Florence has taken out loans from VAHATRA to have more funds. She uses the loan money to purchase ingredients for her dishes. For this loan, she intends to stock up by purchasing 3 sacks of flour, 4 containers of cooking oil, and 5 sacks of charcoal. She prefers to purchase wholesale in order to get a reduced price. She hopes to earn a great deal of profit in order to buy a plot of land for building a house for the family.
