A loan helped a member to buy weaving thread to make pagnes (traditional, wrap-around clothing).


Dieudonné Group's story

The Dieudonné Group has just finished repaying their first Kiva loan. The repayments were all made correctly and on time. Akihoudaga is the group representative and she would like to thank all the Kiva staff and lenders for their support. With the loan, she bought weaving thread to make pagnes (traditional, wrap-around clothing). The income she generated allowed her to buy clothing for her children, provide for other family expenses and strengthen her business.

Akihoudaga needs further loans to continue her weaving business. She wants to build up her stock levels so she can satisfy her customers and earn a good income so she can further improve her family's living standards.

In this group: Akihoudaga, Rasmata, Marie Noelle, Rasmata, Fatoumata, Aminata, Damata
