I want to to continue the cycle and help other women entrepreneurs by micro-lending. I am happy to say that two women I chose to help are now fully funded. Ifeyinwa (left) of Nigeria, is 30 years old and a fashion designer. She sews very well and a lot people patronize her business. She has been sewing for four years. "I love my business and I love seeing people in fine wears," she says. She sustains and supports her family with her business. She hopes to expand her business in the future and add sarongs and tailoring material to sell.
Elise (right) ASSOGBA was born on February 11, 1975, in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin. She's married to Alim ADECHI and the mother of one school-attending child. For five years, Elise has been living with her child and her husband in the Avotrou neighborhood in Cotonou. She supports the family on her own and she never attended school. For about four years, she's been selling fabrics by the distribution system. Elise is also a hairdresser who sells hair extensions. She gets her supplies in Dantokpa, an international market in Benin. If you are interested in helping women soar, contact Kiva.org.
We can all be great with a little support! I'll keep you posted on their success.
