Reine lives with her seventeen-year-old child, a student, in the Hedzranawoe neighborhood of Lome.
She retails purses, shoes, and other products from home. She procures her products from the great market in Lome. This third loan will help her purchase more merchandise to meet the demand.
In the future, she hopes to open a store and to guarantee an education to her child. Aged forty, Reine has been in her business for fourteen years.
