A loan helped to buy 40 kilos of whiting, 60 kilos of whole fish, 50 kilos of tuna.


Marie Esthère's story

Esthère is 42 years old and married. The couple have two children, both of whom go to school.

Esthère has been selling a variety of saltwater fish for about ten years. She has a fixed sales unit right in the town centre.

To meet the needs of her customers, Esthère has applied for a loan to buy 40 kilos of whiting, 50 kilos of tuna and 60 kilos of other fish.

Her aim is to build up savings as much as possible to secure her financial future.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Gina Parsons.
