About Me

I come from a large, harmonious family and a family of practicing believers! I detest illegality. At all times and places it is always ingrained in me to work honestly. My family can be found in Ambalaye, a very well-known neighborhood of Ouagadougou in sector 10. I am known by the nickname "Bouder," which I was given as a child when I played soccer. This is the name of an international Algerian player who ended up in France. Anyone who knows my neighborhood of Amdalaye knows that when you say "Amdalaye" you mean breeding livestock!

My Business

Above all, I am a trader by vocation and I travel from time to time throughout the Sahel. I sell tea that I obtain from Mali and Niger. Tea is a product that works well because it is a passion for many people. If I go out with money on Monday at five o'clock in the morning, for example, I return the next evening and as soon as I come from the train station I deliver my goods and come home with money. My strategy is to sell cheaper to sell more. Unfortunately my working capital is not sufficient, even though I do very well for myself. In addition to my tea business, I raise sheep and, often, when times are good, I buy a big side of beef to fatten for three months. I always win even if it is not much.

Loan Proposal

Hello friends!

I used my previous loan to grow my circle of clients. Because certain vendors are not familiar with my products, I have to convince them to accept my products in their shops. It is often difficult to get sellers to accept products that they don't know, but with a good strategy to engage them, I discussed the price and make sales deposits. My strategy is working and I plan to continue in the same way without disrupting my working capital.

With the new loan I am seeking, I plan to grow the capital for sales deposits, because with the preceding loan I was able to get five new shops to sell my products and this is going well. I am sure that if I increase the capital allocated to sales deposits this will be good business now and in the future.

About Me

Je suis d'une grande famille où règnent l’harmonie, et une famille de croyant pratiquants! Aussi mon éducation déteste l’illégale .A tout moment, à tout temps et à tout lieux il est toujours graver en moi d’œuvrer être honnête. Ma famille se trouve à Ambalaye un quartier très connu à Ouagadougou secteur n° 10 et je suis très connu sous le nom de BOUDER un surnom que j'ai hérité à mon enfance quand je jouais au foot c'est le nom d'un international algérien qui évoluait en France. Celui qui connait Amdalaye mon quartier sait qu'on dit Amdalaye pour ne pas dire élevage !

My Business

Avant tout je suis un commerçant de vocation et je voyage de temps en temps surtout dans le sahel. Je vends du thé que je vais chercher au Mali et au Niger .le Thé un produit qui marche bien car c'est une passion de beaucoup de gens. Si je sors avec de l'argent par exemple un lundi matin à 5 heures du matin je reviens le lendemain soir et dès que je rentre après la gare je livre ma marchandise et je rentre avec mon argent .Ma stratégie est de vendre moins cher pour écouler beaucoup. Malheureusement mon fond de roulement n'est pas beaucoup mais je me débrouille très bien. En plus je fais l élevage de moutons et souvent quand les temps sont bon je paye une grande carcasse de bœuf pour embouche pendant trois mois et je gagne toujours même si ce n'est pas beaucoup

Loan Proposal

SALUT LES AMIS! AVEC MON PRÊT PRÉCÉDENT, JE L'AI UTILISER POUR AGRANDIR LE CERCLE DE MES CLIENTS. COMME CERTAINES VENDEURS NE CONNAISSENT PAS LE MES PRODUITS,ils me faut les convaincre à accepter mes produits dans leur boutique. Il est souvent difficile que les commerçant accepte des produits qu'il ne connais pas, mais avec la bonne stratégie pour les engagé à la commercialisation de mes produits j'ai discuter les prix et faire des dépôt vente. Quand je regarde la stratégie elle a marcher et je compte continuer dans la même lancer sans perturber le mon fond de roulement.
le prêt que je vais avoir, le nouveau , je vais agrandir le capital des dépôt vente ,car avec le prêt précédent j'ai pu avoir 5 boutique à vendre mes produits et ça va bien. Je suis sûr et certain que si j’augmente le capital allouer au dépôt vente ça serrai une bonne affaire et surtout dans les temps a venir.

    Dear all, we would like to apologize for the unusual delay in disbursing this loan. The reason for the delay is that our banking partner in Burkina Faso has changed its procedure for transferring funds to Zidisha members. We're communicating daily with the bank in an effort to expedite the disbursement of this loan under the new procedure.
    Best wishes,
    Alice

    Chers membres, veuillez excuser le délai dans le décaissement de ce prêt. La raison en est que notre banque partenaire au Burkina Faso a changé sa procédure pour le transfert des fonds aux membres de Zidisha. Nous sommes en contact quotidien avec la banque afin qu'ils décaissent les fonds le plus vite possible.
    Bonne journée,
    Alice
