A loan helped to buy 10 boxes of women's shoes and 5 boxes of children's shoes.


Akouvi Senam's story

Senam is 53 years old, married, and without children. She sells shoes in her neighborhood. She makes her purchases twice a week from larger shops.

She requests a loan in order to buy boxes of children's shoes and boxes of women's shoes to respond to her customer’s demands and to make more profit to help her family escape poverty.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Bonnie Zaleski.


This loan is special because:

It helps vulnerable populations in Togo access credit and grow their businesses.
