Souleymane is the father of 6 children, 3 of whom go to school. He has been selling spare parts for over 16 years in an outlying district of the capital. He has repaid his Kiva loan without difficulty.

He has applied for a new loan to buy solar lamps and various bicycle and scooter spare parts to stock his shop and meet customer demand.

With the profits, he plans to reinvest in his business and save to support his family.
