About Me

I was born June 6, 1971, in Bobo Dioulasso. I come from a family of businesspeople: my father was a direct trader and my mother was a salesperson. I quickly gained a penchant for business while helping my mother sell various items. Today, I am a housewife and the mother of five children—three girls and two boys. I started selling embroidered clothing several years ago and my revenues allow me to contribute to my family's finances. I had the opportunity to attend an Arabic and French bilingual school and I have a BEPC (Junior Secondary Education Certificate).

My Business

I make and sell embroidered clothing. I buy cotton cloth and pagnes, dye them the desired colour, sew them, and finally put them up for sale. I also do customized pieces; people can send me their fabric or pagnes with their design so I can do the sewing. My business is successful and I participate in various fairs in Burkina Faso such as the SIAO (Ouagadougou International Artisan Expo). Thanks to the profits from my business, I can now take good care of my family. I currently plan on buying a second embroidery machine.

Loan Proposal

Hello dear lenders,

The amount I am currently asking for will be used to increase my output. I plan on buying a large amount of fabric and thread. I should add that I also plan on using these funds to start selling soap in front of my workshop. I will also be preparing myself for the international expo in Ghana in February, where I will be a clothing exhibitor.

About Me

je née le 06/06/ 1971 à Bobo Dioulasso. issue d'une famille commerçante, d'un père qui fait du commerce direct et d'une mère commerçante également j’ai vite eu un penchant pour le commerce car j'aidais la maman dans la vente de ces différents articles. aujourd’hui, je suis femme au foyer et mère de cinq (05) enfants dont 3 filles et 2 garçons. je me suis lancé dans la vente des habits brodé il Ya de cela plusieurs années. Mon revenu me permet de participer aux charges de la famille. j’ai eu l'opportunité de faire l'école franco arabe et je suis titulaire d’un BEPC (Brevet d’Etude pour le Premier Cycle.)

My Business

Mon activité est la couture et la commercialisation des tenues brodées. En effet j’achète du Bazin et les pagnes, je fais la teinture selon la couleur voulu ensuite je passe à la couture et en fin j’expose pour la vente. Il faut dire que je fais aussi la couture directe c’est-à-dire que les personnes peuvent envoyer leurs Bazin ou pagnes avec leurs modèle pour que je fasse la couture. Mon commerce marche et je participe aux différentes foires qui ont lieu au BURKINA telle que le SIAO (Salon International de l’Artisanat de Ouagadougou). Grâce aux bénéfices liés à mon activité, j’arrive aujourd’hui à bien m’occuper de ma famille. Mon objectifs aujourd’hui est de pouvoir acquérir une autre machine à broder.

    Hello dear members,
    I had a meeting with Madame Mariame Toe on July 22. She had been sick, which is why she couldn't meet her last payment, but she promised to pay at the end of the month. As a mentor, I am asking if you can let her change her repayment calendar. Thank you for understanding.

    Hello everyone,

    I am writing you this morning to give you some news and to ask for a change in my repayment calendar. What happened was that I returned to the village for a funeral and thus couldn't make many sales this month. I hope you will understand, In hope that my request can be granted, I wish that you receive this message quickly and moreover that you have a good day.
