A loan helped to buy traditional "pagnes" to sew traditional clothing and save money to take care of his family.


T.boukare's story

T.boukare is a father of six children, four of whom are still in school. He is a tailor and has been running a tailor shop located near the capital for 12 years where he makes traditional clothing.

He is on his seventh loan with YIKRI and has repaid his second Kiva loan. He asked for a new loan to purchase traditional "pagnes" in order to sew traditional clothing to satisfy customer demand.

With his profits, he will invest back into his tailor shop, purchase more clothing stock and save money to support his family.

He hopes that everyone is staying safe during COVID-19.
