A loan helped to buy fabric.


Agnes Patricia's story

Agnès Patricia is a young, 35 year old, saleswoman. She is married and the mother of four children, all in school. She is active in the clothing sector and sells fabric of varying quality for men and women. Agnès buys fabric in Gambie and Dakar for resale to women in her area. She does not yet have a shop and to sell out her merchandise she walks around the neighborhood to meet her customers and to deliver their orders. The first Kiva loan, which she benefited from, allowed her to start making good progress in her business. She is asking for another Kiva loan to buy even more merchandise and to continue in this growing trend. Agnès contributes well to managing, together with her husband, the family expenses such as the children's schooling, food and health. Her dream is to have a big clothing store.
