About Me

My name is Assane Kafando, and my village, Zangogo, is near Kombissiri, in the Bazèga province. I am the youngest child in a family of about thirty children, all from the same father. He is a retired accountant, and my mother is a housewife. They live in Kombissiri while I am pursuing my studies in Toécé, not far from Kombissiri. Daily life with my family is not easy, that is why I put a priority on my studies. Nonetheless, I started a rabbit-breeding business, currently run by my mother, which allows me to earn money to help my parents. I converted to Christianity several years ago and am learning to play guitar in the choral music group of my church during this vacation.

My Business

During my last vacations, I made a contract with a friend that allowed each of us to earn roughly 5000F, that is to say around $10. With my part, I bought a couple of rabbits, one male and one female, each for 1500F, that is to say $3. Since then, the female has already given birth 5 times. I was able to sell the first baby rabbits to buy school stationeries for the new academic year. The demand for rabbits exceeds the offer. What's more, Kombissiri is located not too far away from the capital city, where the sale of rabbits to hotels and inns is very profitable. That is why, with the help of Zidisha, I intend on launching my business. Thanks in advance to Zidisha for giving me this opportunity.

Loan Proposal

I returned home for vacation and found my little rabbits in good health. The only thing is that the family dog scares them and puts them in danger. With this loan I would like to build them an elevated rabbit hutch for shelter. The loan amount will be used as follows: about $50 for the enclosure, another $50 for their food, which is primarily made of sweet potatoes and tuber leaves, which are readily available in Kombissiri. Also, my baccalaureate studies did not go well this year and I have to retake the final year of classes. The rest of the loan will help pay for some private tutoring in math and PC, and also to buy supplies. This will support my parents!

About Me

Je me nomme Assane Kafando, mon village s’appelle Zangogo, non loin de Kombissiri dans la province du Bazèga. je suis le cadet d’une famille d’une trentaine d’enfants de même père. Mon père est un comptable à la retraite et ma mère est ménagère. Ils vivent à Kombissiri mais, moi je poursuis mes études à Toécé, non loin de Kombissiri. La vie quotidienne en famille n’est pas facile. C’est pourquoi mes études sont une priorité. Néanmoins, j’ai commencé un élevage de lapins que j’ai laissé à la charge de ma mère et cela me rapporte de quoi aider mes parents.
Converti au Christianisme depuis quelques années, j'apprends à jouer de la guitare dans le groupe musical de la chorale de notre église pendant les vacances.

My Business

Avec un capital au départ de 5000F, j’ai acheté un couple de lapins, un mâle et une femelle à raison de 1500F l’un soit 3$. Depuis, la femelle a déjà mis bas 5 fois. J’ai pu vendre les premiers petits pour acheter mes fournitures scolaires pour la rentrée 2014-2015 pour je poursuivais mon baccalauréat. Je ne l'ai pas obtenu mais je suis admissible au concours des Assistants de la Police Nationale. Si ma santé est bonne, et je l'espère, je serai définitivement reçu. Avec les conseils de mon père je compte reconvertir l'élevage des lapins en élevage de pintades car les lapins creusent dans le mur en banco et me cause des problèmes avec les voisins. La demande de pintades est aussi élevée que celle des lapins. De plus, elles produiront des oeufs qui peuvent également être commercialisés. Kombissiri est située non loin de la capitale où la vente dans les hôtels et les auberges est aussi rentable. Je compte donc avec l’aide de Zidisha me lancer dans ce nouveau business. Merci d’avance à Zidisha de me donner cette chance

Loan Proposal

Je suis revenu pour les vacances et j'ai trouvé mes lapinons en bonne santé. Seulement, le chien de la maison les effraie et les met en danger. J'aimerais donc avec la somme que je vais percevoir compléter leur enclos en hauteur pour les mettre à l'abri. La somme sera repartie en 3 parts: une part soit environ 50 $ US pour l'enclos. Une autre part 50$ pour leur alimentation qui est principalement composée de patates douces et de feuilles de tubercules qui sont beaucoup produites à Kombissiri.
aussi, mon Baccalauréat n’a pas marché cette année et je dois reprendre la terminale. Le reste de l’argent servira donc à payer quelques cours privés de Mathématiques et de P.C. et aussi à payer des fournitures. Cela soutiendra beaucoup mes parents !

    Hello, __Je am very happy for my loan financing. As soon as I take possession of my money, I"ll buy 30 guinea fowl in the amount of approximately $ 120, $ 100 for their food, not to mention veterinary care for around $ 30. The rest will be used for my little needs .__ So in 5-6 months I can start selling 2/3 to buy new guinea fowl. The remaining 1/3 will start to lay eggs for sale. Part of the eggs will be used for family consumption .__ I thank the team and all Zidisha lenders, particularly Mr Paul Graham for his confidence. I will do everything I can to earn that trust.

    Dear lenders ____ as a volunteer coach Assane Kafando, I ask you to trust him again. He made all his payments on time and even ahead of some of its payments with revenues from sales of his rabbits. It is eligible for the contest of the national police but certainly when final admission his mother continue to take care of his guinea fowl. It may also make a good comeback at the police school. Thank you for your support.

    With the money I received during the holidays, I paid for my mathematics course and I also paid for the little rabbits my friends raised. Tomorrow October 1 is the start of school, and I just sold the rabbits for 100,000 f ($200) to prepare for my return to class and I retained a portion of the money to pay my loan installments in advance as I must join Toécé for studies. I also paid for my tuition and supplies. I'll pay the rest of the loan in two installments. I thank my lenders.
