About Me

I am a married mother of four children, and I'm from a polygamous family of seven people on my mother's side, of whom I am the fifth daughter. I was born and I grew up in Bobo Dioulasso. Like other children, I started school at age seven and attended regularly until I got my primary school certificate, but in high school I had to stop in tenth grade. Through my dedication and determination I launched myself into working life by developing my business that I've had for ten years now. Right now I work as a fabric seller and my goal is to expand my business, which why I am coming to the microfinance Zidisha for a loan. Thank you.

My Business

Trading, like any other business, requires courage and above all determination. My experience in this business gives me enormous advantages, given that I retain a significant number of my clients who frequent my shop regularly to buy a piece or two of fabric. Another advantage is my membership in an association called Djiguiya, meaning "Hope" in Dioulasso's national language, whose members are my biggest clients. Prices of the fabrics vary. For example, there are fabric squares called half-blocks with the wholesale price 5750 CFA francs, which I resell to make a profit of 600 to 700 CFA francs. I also sell types of cloth called Demi-Hollondais, as well as Basin cloth. I thank you in the hope that this project will interest you. Thank you!
