Borrower's quote
J'ai suivi une formation en couture, mais avec la saturation de l'activité, j'ai décidé de trouver une autre activité en parallèle. C'est en 1999 que j'ai commencé à travailler dans la photographie également ce qui me donne un revenu complémentaire. Aujourd'hui, je suis retourné sur mon ancienne activité et j'ai ouvert un magasin de prêt-à-porter. J'envisage d'augmenter mes stocks, avec le soutien de MicroCred, afin de répondre à la demande des clients. Je souhaiterais que mes deux activités s'améliorent en même temps, pour que je puisse devenir indépendant financièrement et mettre ma famille dans de bonnes conditions.

Rates and transparency
- This loan does not pay any interest to the lender.
- Following your loan commitment, you have 7 calendar days to assert your right of withdrawal, by mail at contact@microworld.org.
- The MFI will reimburse the lender in case of default of the entrepreneur but there is no guarantee or insurance given by the MFI.
- 100% of the money collected is sent to the MFI, even if the project is not fully funded on the site.
- The MFI then makes a loan to the micro-entrepreneur and charges an interest rate in order to cover its operational and financial costs.
- The platform earns a commission from the MFI for the service it provides, which helps to fund its running costs.
- More effective than a simple donation, micro-credit promotes long-term sustainable economic development rather than short term help.
