About Me
I was born in Barama, in the Laye region on Route 2, 15 km from Ouagadougou. I am marries, and the father of 3 children. Today, I am a mechanic and I have worked in the area for 20 years. My family was not too poor to send their children to school, but my destiny instead lead me to become a mechanic. My family supports me a lot and encourages me to keep moving forward; they are typical of families found everywhere in Africa.
My Business
After a few years of study, I was not able to find any work when arriving in Ouagadougo other than becoming an apprentice to a mechanic where I learned much. I currently have 6 permanent employees who work in my garage. Today, I am proud to work on small engines in all areas of mechanics. I sell parts for different types of machines in our markets, and do repairs and troubleshooting on motors. I also have two apprentices that I am teaching, ages 22 and 26, who come from the countryside in search of work, which was hard for them to do. Today, they are doing well and are looking to integrate into my garage at the end of their apprenticeships- all they have to do is ask.
Loan Proposal
As the preceding loan was for the beginning of my dream, this loan- if it is granted- will serve to augment the needs of my business (5 new mopeds, work tools that need to be upgraded to support motors that are becoming more and more electric). The business has already been established,and I await this loan in order to accomplish my dream which has only just begun- to make a company big enough that I can hire a minimum of 15 people.
