About Me

To start, my name is Massamba Diouf. I was born on September 16th, 1969 in Dakar. My nationality is Senegalese. I am married and the father of two children, one son and one daughter. My son is named Abdourrahmane Diouf and he is 2.5 years old. My daughter is named Sockna Bineta Diouf and is 8 months old. I am Muslim. I live in low rent housing in Dakar. I do business because I like the profession. With this loan money, I intend to buy a new machine (a hot press for flock printing) and t-shirts and baseball caps.

My Business

We are a midsize enterprise and we are improving in the field of stationery. Currently, we have two desktop computers, two photocopiers, a scanner, a fax machine, and internet connection. We also have merchandise: a small stock of office furniture and school supplies. I have a profitable business, but it is not sufficient enough to face my competitors. My monthly cost is 290.000 francs (490.45 USD); my profit is 135.000 francs (228.31 USD) monthly.

Loan Proposal

With the money from the loan I hope to buy
Some cloth for T-shirts and baseball caps, a table for an electric sewing machine. With the cloth I hope to make some traditional boubous in order to sell them at the market. And ink cartridges for an A3 color paper to print transfer paper.

    Please do not give up hope because you were not funded. There are so very many new members that lenders aren't able to fund all of the loans. You will be a more familiar face when you post again!

    It might also help if you make your proposal more clear about how the tshirt press fits in with your delivery service.

    Best wishes!

    Monsieur,
    Dans le courant du mois d’aout 2013, nous avons fait appel à votre structure pour un prêt et nous vous en remercions. Cependant, il me reste un montant de 150.000 FCFA pour le solde du prêt en cours.
    En effet, votre prêt nous a permis de démarrer un nouveau type de business intitulé WOO MA, YOONI MA. Ce business est un service de livraison express à travers toute la ville. Nous effectuons des courses de proximité, de courriers ainsi que tout autre besoin rattaché à notre service.
    Nous disposons d’une moto pour nos services de livraison.
    Pour consolider notre business, nous avons besoin de deux motos et d’une voiture. De ce fait nous voulons anticiper le paiement du solde en une seule tranche pour bénéficier d’un autre prêt aussitôt après.
    Dans l’attente d’une suite favorable, veuillez agréer, monsieur , l’expression de nos salutations distinguées.

    Dear Lenders,

    Massamba has become a vital member of the Zidisha family as he has been helping numerous prospective borrowers complete their applications. Today, I meet with Massamba at his shop in the HLM 6 neighborhood of Dakar, located right next door to the HLM Market, one of the bigger markets in Dakar which specializes in fabric. Massamba informed me that business has been going well for him, but his clients payments had been somewhat slow with the holiday of Tabaski. Nonetheless, Massamba had good news because just yesterday he received an order for around 100 school uniforms to be made. With the improved sewing machine station he was able to buy thanks to his Zidisha loan, he will be able to turn this order out soon with the assistance of a tailor he has hired to help him.
    Massamba is a genuinely great person and I was able to enjoy the afternoon chatting with him in his shop. I was also lucky to meet his 2 little children, he sarcastically refers to his son Ibrahima as "the little terror" but on the contrary his children are full of joy and laughter. Massamba really expresses his gratitude for your lending to his efforts to increase his business. Thank you.

    I recently received an order for 100 T-shirts for the IPG ISTIT group, a large training center. I fulfilled this order successfully and await additional orders.

    Hello to the Zidisha Team and Lenders.
    I took some photos to show the progression of my business.
    With the loan money, I purchased this sewing machine and an HP color printer used for screenprinting.
    The printer and sewing machine arrived at a good time because school is starting soon and I will have the opportunity to work with schools on school outfits and printing.

    Once again I have to thank Zidisha and their lenders who trusted me and granted me such an important loan despite these tough economic times.
    I want to especially thank one lender who offered to lend me a lot of money. I also want to thank all the Zidisha interns who came to see me at my workplace. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Madeleine, Mark, Sam, Abigail and Stephane.
    A special thank you to Stephane who gave me my first order of 20 t-shirts with the Zidisha logo. I am expecting a new t-shirt order as I intend to pay back my loan as fast as possible so I can borrow once again.
    Thank you.

    Hello, to start off, I thank the entire Zidisha team once again, everyone who has supported me near and far. Awarding me this loan has greatly allowed me to boost my trade. With the money from the loan that Zidisha awarded me, I bought myself a hot press. I’m beginning to have a few orders here and there. I think in the future I will have many more orders and earn more money, which will allow me to better the living conditions for me and my little family. Thank you once again to all the Zidisha partners.

    To start, I thank every person who trusted me during this crisis, giving me this loan very important for me. Because I could buy a hot press for "flocage" of the t-shirts and sport shirts thanks to the loan money. With this machine, I entend to expand my business and get a very good turnover. Again, I thank everyone. Thank you.

    Hi Lenders,

    As a Client Relationship Manager intern in Dakar, I visited Massamba at his business last week. His shop is full of office supplies and other everyday use products. With printers, scanners, computers and an internet connection he can provide other business support services as well. He says, business is continuing normally but Massamba is anticipating with the presidential transition, an improved economic environment in the near future.

    With the loan money he received, he has purchased a hot press to print words and images on t-shirts, hats, and mugs. Through Youtube videos and friends who have similar machines, Massamba has mastered the technique required to use the hot press. The next steps are to first, advertise his new services and attract clients to order in bulk. Lutte match fans (Senegalese traditional wrestling) and informal soccer teams are both target customers, Massamba says. Second, an additional machine must be bought to cut the letters and symbols that are pressed on the products. Currently, Massamba is using a friend's on contract.

    Picture to follow with Massamba and the new machine.

    Best,
    Madeline
