I live in Benin City, I am married with seven children.
My neighbours advised me to attend an informal meeting that the LAPO microfinance entity held in the area. This meeting was a turning point in my life, I became a client of his microcredit programme and obtained a first loan of €116 to invest in my food business.
Since then, the business has grown very rapidly, which has had a very positive impact on my family’s living conditions. My current daily income is between €23 and €35.
