Affiwa is a shopkeeper selling pagnes (colourful fabrics) of different qualities. She is a young, married woman aged 35. Affiwa makes her orders twice a month in the big department stores of the country.
She needs more funds in order to make these orders. That is why Affiwa is requesting a loan in order to purchase different quality pagnes. Her wish is to satisfy her growing number of customers.
She wants to do everything she can to attain financial independence and get herself out of poverty.
