About Me

I am a married and the mother of two children. I come from a polygamous family with seven people on my mother's side, of which I am the third daughter. I was born and raised in Bobo-Dioulasso. Like other children my age, I went to class regularly from age seven and graduated from elementary school, but in high school I had to quit in tenth grade. Through my dedication and determination, I was able to launch my business, which I've run for almost five years. Right now I'm a merchant of traditional wrap clothing and my goal is to expand my business, which is why I'm coming to Zidisha microfinance for a loan.

My Business

Trade, like all other business, takes courage and above all determination. It's worth noting that my experience in this business gives me a large advantage, since I have a large number of regular clients who come to my boutique regularly to buy a wrap or two. Another advantage is my store's location, since it's on a large street and easily visible. The price differs from one wrap to another. For example, there are types of wraps called half blocks that I buy wholesale for about twelve dollars each and I can make a profit of $1.30-$1.60 for each one sold. I also sell ones with "half Dutch" fabric and Basin fabric, for which I can earn, respectively, $2.50 and $3.00. The money I earn lets me support my family financially. This second loan of $450 will allow me to buy more stock, particularly Basin squares. I thank you all and hope this present project interests you. Thank you!

Loan Proposal

Trade like any other activity requires courage and above all determination. We must recognize that my experience in this business gives me tremendous assets to the extent that I was able to retain a significant number of my clients who regularly visit my shop with the aim of paying a loincloth or two. A second thing is my location because I am on a large avenue with high visibility. Prices differ from one to another loincloth. For example, it has kind of loincloth called a half-block whose wholesale price back to me about 12 dollars and I resell it while making a profit of 1.3 dollars to 1.6 dollars sold loincloth. I also sell types Half Dutch, and whose profits Basins respectively reach 2.5 dollars see $ 3 USD. The money thus obtained allows me to support my family financially. This second loan of $ 450 will allow me to increase my stock especially in the purchase of the basin. Thank you and hope that this project will attract my attention. Thank you.
