Lamoussa Antoinette is the mother of four children. She has two other dependents. She has been selling wood and charcoal in an outlying district of the capital for 18 years. She has repaid her Kiva loan.
She has applied for a new loan to buy 20 rows of wood and 10 bags of charcoal to meet her customers' demand. She plans to use her profits to reinvest in her business and save to support her children.
