A loan helped a member to buy rice, condiments and drinks for her restaurant.


Barkwende/Kilwin Pade Group's story

Maimouna is 33 years old and married with two children. She is a restaurant owner and has been in this business for seven years. She needs a loan to buy rice, condiments and drinks for her restaurant and to sell. Her restaurant is in a good location, and she is well-known in view of her experience. She is also polite and welcoming to her customers and, in addition, the meals that she offers them are very good and varied. These are the things that make her business successful.

After selling her goods, she will make a profit that will enable her to put money into savings, take care of her family and continue to run her business. This is her first loan with ACFIME, and she is committing to make repayments on the correct date.
