Milenovissi Djagblé Group – Sponsorship Goal £2,205.00

10% funded

Each member of the Milenovissi Djagblé group runs a small business. Several of them sell cooked rice or local dishes made from corn dough such as ‘Kom’ and ‘Akassa’; others have a second hand clothes stall or sell jewellery.

Ernest Gbedewa runs a bar and restaurant whilst Anani Akpamagbo makes clay cooking pots.

At 24 Anani is the youngest member; he used to work at the foundry but when his first child was born he realised that he wanted to be able to increase his savings and to secure his family’s future.

Even though their ages range from 24 to 56 and there are only two men in this community group, they all share the same determination. To improve the lives of their family through their own hard work.

Our featured entrepreneurs from this group are Lebene Awoukou and Akoffa Egbla.

Lebene Awoukou is a 54 year old widow with five children aged between 26 and 12. Sadly not even the youngest child is able to attend school. As the sole provider for her family she sells chickens and clay cooking pots. Her loan would be used to buy stock at wholesale prices to improve her margins.

Akoffa Egbla is 29, married with four children aged 15, 10, 6 and 1, two of whom are at school. She sells smoked fish which is a staple of the diet in Lomé. She requested a loan to buy fresh fish, smoke it to preserve it and sell at a premium. Her ambition is to increase her profits so that she can finance her children’s education and to increase the size of their plot of land to grow vegetables for their own consumption.

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Deki to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Deki we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Deki to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Deki will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Deki receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
