Celine Loko is a married 30 year old woman with three children.
Celine is one of the youngest selected applicants of the
Congo.
Celine plans on using the loan to purchase food, cosmetics, and
other various small items to re-sell in the city of Mbandaka. Her
children’s education and well being rely on the success of Celine’s
business. There is no doubt that Celine will put in the necessary
time and effort into running her business.

Celine has opened her business. Given the socio - economic
situation that prevails in the region, Celine has requested a grace
period of three months. This brings the total duration of the loan
to 15 months.
