Alima is 54 years old, married and the mother of five. She has been selling miscellaneous items for ten years. She needs a loan to stock up on colorful traditional "pagnes" fabrics for resale. Her sales stand is well located; she is well known thanks to her experience; she is friendly and welcoming with her customers; and, in addition her pagnes are of high quality. All this explains the success of her business.
After selling her wares, Alima will have a revenue allowing her to save, provide for her family as well as grow her business. She has taken out a loan agreement with ACFIME several times and has always repaid as expected.
