Fifonsi II is a group of nine people, the members of whom are residents of the same neighborhood. The representative of the group, Zinhoué Ghislain (with her hand raised in the photo), is 40 years old. She no longer lives with her husband, but is the mother of two children, both of whom attend school and are in her care. She lives alone with her two children.
Three years ago, Zinhoué Ghislain began selling fried yams and sweet potatoes in her region. As a side business, she also sells cookies and candies. Zinhoué Ghislain stocks up in a region of Benin. In order to raise the level of her business, she is requesting a first loan together with the other members of the Fifonsi II group. This loan will allow them to improve their businesses and to better respond to the needs of their customers.
In this group: Zinhoué Ghislaine, Justine, Euphrasie, Rachelle, Hélène, Hélène, Gwladys, Christiane, Charlotte
