A loan helped a member to bolster her business capacity (rice, macaroni, oil, beans) to earn more and provide her children with an education and clothing.


Kanouya Pad Group's story

Azèta is 38, married, and the mother of five. For fifteen years, she has been in the restaurant business and needs a loan to pay for sacks of rice, 5 boxes of macaroni, 10 containers of oil, and 2 sacks of beans for her different meals she sells.

Her restaurant is located in a good spot. She is known for her experience and is also respectful and accommodating toward her customers. In addition, the meals she offers taste good and are varied. And so her business is doing well.

From her sales, she will have a profit enabling her to save some money to take care of her family and also to continue in her work. She is on her 18th ACFIME loan contract, and the repayments have been made normally.
