About Me
My name is Sarata Traore (née Ouedraogo). I was born and raised in Bobo Dioulasso. I did go to school, up to middle school. I was born to a polygamous family; my father married two women in addition to my mother, and I consider them like mothers. I am also married and have six children, including five daughters and a son, all of whom are going to school. My husband is a civil servant and every day I do everything I can to meet my needs and those of my family. I work as a salesperson. I sell traditional wraps made of bazin (damask) fabric.
My Business
I have been selling bazin (damask) wraps for many years. This business is successful. Bazin is a type of wrap that is very popular amongst women, and also to a lesser extent amongst men and children. It is expensive because of its quality. I purchase the bazin fabric in Mali and sell it (wholesale or retail) in Bobo Dioulasso and Banfora. Sometimes, I also sell it on credit to civil servants and women who are members of associations. I sell bazins called "Bazin Riche" at the price of 30,000 francs cash, or 40,000 francs on credit (payable in four monthly installments). Zidisha's help would bolster my business.
Loan Proposal
The Bazin or Basin is the ultimate luxury fabric in West Africa; it can sometimes reach very high prices .__ We recognize this fabric to its stiffness, its shiny appearance and sound characteristic that causes its stiffness when walking woman dressed bazin .__ I"m in the business of selling many years ago and this gives me a very important asset not only because of my experience but also because of the relationships I could weave in this area. Much appreciated first by women, it is nevertheless appreciated by men and children. Expensive because of its quality, it is much worn during ceremonies such as weddings, christenings, holidays and other joys of events. I pay the basin in Mali to the wholesale price that I replace the half wholesale and retail prices in Bobo Dioulasso and Banfora. Sometimes I give credit to officials and women"s associations. I sell mostly on Bazin called "rich Bazin" at $ 60.45 USD and $ 80.60 in cash in four installments refundable credit. Thank you for the previous loans that allowed me to increase my ability and see my business grow. This loan of $ 555.00 which I request from you will allow me in addition to my contribution to dramatically increase my ability.

Loan Proposal
Le Bazin ou Basin est le tissu de luxe par excellence en Afrique de l'Ouest ; il peut atteindre parfois des prix très élevés.
On reconnaît ce tissu à sa raideur, son aspect brillant et le bruit caractéristique que sa raideur provoque lorsqu'une femme marche habillée de bazin.
Je suis dans le domaine de la vente il ya plusieurs années et cela me confère un atout très capital non seulement a cause de mon expérience mais aussi a cause des relations que j'ai pu tisser dans ce domaine. Très apprécié d'abord par les femmes, il est cependant apprécié par les hommes et les enfants. Coûteux en raison de sa qualité, il est beaucoup plus porté lors des cérémonies telles que les mariages, les baptêmes, les fêtes et d'autres manifestations de joies. Je paie le bassin au Mali au prix d'en gros que je replace au prix de demi-gros et de détail à Bobo Dioulasso et Banfora. Parfois, je donne à crédit aux fonctionnaires et aux femmes des associations. Je vends surtout le bazin appelés « Bazin riche » à $ 60,45 USD en numéraire et 80,60 USD crédit remboursable en quatre versements. Merci pour les prêts antérieurs qui ont permis à moi d'augmenter ma capacité et de voir grandir mon entreprise. Ce prêt de 555,00 USD dont je sollicite auprès de vous va me permettre en plus de mon apport d'augmenter considérablement ma capacité.
