Honorine is 54 years old and married. The couple has seven children, of whom two are already independent. The family lives in the center of town. Honorine works at raising broiler chickens and also rents out rickshaws to generate revenue. Her husband is the caretaker of a private property.
Honorine has had several loans from Vahatra to develop her businesses. Her previous loan was for raising broiler chickens, and she obtained a rickshaw with her profits. She also made some savings in cash that she will add to to buy some land later.
The next loan will allow Honorine to buy four additional rickshaws, which she will rent out. The goal is to raise more family revenue to help bring the project of buying a building plot to fruition. Honorine hopes for support from the lenders.
