My name is Nicolas Jean Louis; I'm from Petion-Ville Haiti. I've terminated my high school studies, since I didn't have the possibility to go to the university. Then I decided to look for jobs. I’ve tried for years looking for something to do to live my life, but unfortunately it didn’t work. It was hard to live on behalf of parents who sometimes are obliged to give me things to eat and drink. __But after the earthquake that devastated Haiti, things were becoming so hard for my family that we hardly get food to eat every day. I should then find something to do to survive. That’s why I began in 2012 my little business of cooling drink. I began it with some friends who wanted on Saturday to find somewhere to relax themselves by drinking some bears. That’s how I began and it was a very great opportunity for me to begin my first business. And that’s how I discover that one can lifee if we makes up one’s mind. __Every week-end, a lot of friends of mine with some of their friend came to drink, relax and get some fun. I am someone who like to work, who become to have a great taste for business. And see that’s business is the opportunity for everyone that are looking for jobs and can’t find any. I hope that in a short time my little business could grow up and allow me to live correctly and with dignity and proud. __And maybe one time I’ll have the possibility to go to study at university, who knows. With the power of God everything is possible. While I was talking to one of my friend, he talked to me about Zidisha, and I think it is a good opportunity for me to get some loan that will help me grow my business. ____Thank You
Sometimes people are looking for somewhere very cool to join together and have some fun. Unfortunately after the earthquake of 2012 that’s devasted Haiti, There were not much of those places. People get hardly somewhere to get a drink, have some fun and meet to talk about their problems, their joy and sometime their pain.__That’s how I began to think about something that could do to make people comfortable. A place that could delight them a little bit. That’s how in my corner I bought a freezer and some bear and invited most of my friends to come to pass a cool moments together. I told them to come with some money to buy some bear, and they did. And after a while that place became a rendez-vous every week-end. They felt themselves so cool that they wanted me to do it not only every Saturday night, but also Friday and Sunday night. That’s how I began to take it more like a business than a fun. I used to buy the drinks cash, but after some months my stock became too short that I was obliged to buy on credit. __Right now, I have a stock of about 300 of bottle, I sell about 100 bottle every day. I mean Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then, I sell every week about 300 bottle of bears, coca-cola, Pepsi, and water. Most of the time I don’t have enough cash to let grow the business. With the Zidisha Loan I could pass from 300 bottle to 400. And having more diversity and the drinks. __With this commerce I don’t have any problem to eat drink and have some fun with my family. The zidisha loan will help me to have more cash to buy more drinks and then my business will grow. And may be I will have a restaurant soon.____Thank you to all of you for providing a such way to have access to loan.
With this loan I will buy more drinks that I can fill my clients needs and I will be able to close later. I'm also going to to things for marketing because when i'll have a greater stock I will need more clients. I will also buy new kind of bears and other tasty drinks attract more people. I will try also to open some days during the week that people would know that we re open not only on the week end but also in the afternoon. I ll buy in the future some tools to improve the way i serve my clients to they could feel themselves so much comfortable that they would want to come everyday. In amount I will buy more than 100 bottles.
