A loan helped to buy items of clothing, palm oil and lemon juice.


Souadou's story

Souadou is an honest and courageous woman who has been running a business for more than a decade. It is because of her business that she is able to take care of some of her family's needs. Souadou has already benefitted from a Kiva loan which allowed her to make good progress and improve her living conditions. She is renewing her loan request so that she can buy more items of clothing, some palm oil and some lemon juice. This will enable her to grow her business further and to change her life.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Helen Speake.


This loan is special because:

It helps borrowers access financial services on flexible terms with no collateral requirements.
