About Me

I am a young Senegalese woman born in Dakar, having just finished my studies in University and struggling to find a decent job to provide to my personal needs and support my husband and our family.
It is for this reason that I require considerable help to jump-start my juice making activities and pastries, as well as products based on local cereals which I have been able to master manufacturing during my experiences in hospitality and the restaurant industry.
I come from a large family with many cousins, but I am trying to live with my husband right now and I would like to improve our quality of life.

My Business

My business consists making juices and pastries, as well as products based on local cereals; I also sell broiler chickens that I buy in the city of Rufisque in Keur Ndiaye Lo (a village with an economy based heavily on poultry) and I am in charge of stocking them and reselling them to individual customers.
With the requested loan, I intend on increasing my maximum purchasing power to respond favorably to customer demand, which continues to grow and asks much of me while I do not have the means to sufficiently respond to their demands.

Loan Proposal

With the loan I will buy eggs trays for 2,000 francs to resale at 2300 francs per unit. I also have a weekly order of 50 chickens per week to deliver at a restaurant in Dakar. I make a profit of 200 francs per chicken, so 200 chickens/month X 200 francs I earn 40,000 francs on that, besides other orders that I have at the store.

    I had unexpected health issues that led me to use my working capital, and I just resumed my activities and I can honor the monthly payment of 10000 francs.
