Alimata is mother of four children, two of whom attend school. She is a trader and has been selling cereals in a market in the capital for more than 10 years. She repays her loans without difficulty.
Alimata has requested a loan to purchase 25 sacks of corn and 15 sacks of small millet to increase her stock. She will reinvest part of the profits in her business and save to take care of her family.
