About Me

My name is Sanou Korotimi and I’m a young girl who was born the 14th of November 1994. I was born and raised in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. I live in the beautiful city of Sya with my parents. I used to go to school and went up until about age 13, but due to lack of finances, I couldn’t continue with my studies. I sell produce, such as cabbages, fresh tomatoes, onions, bananas, etc.. I would like to further develop my business and this is why I am seeking financing through Zidisha.

My Business

Hello dear lenders,

Right now, I do business in the KoKo market, selling bananas, cabbages, and fresh tomatoes. I’ve been doing this for some time and things are coming along. I grow all the produce that I sell with my parents in order to harvest and sell it in the market produce stands. I sell bananas for 250000 Francs. I sell a basket of fresh tomatoes for 5000 Francs. The price for tomatoes varies and can often go up to 10000 Francs ou drop to 2500 Francs. I sell cabbages for 15000 Francs. I use the profits from this business to handle our family expenses. I thank you.

Loan Proposal

I am a young girl named SANOU Korotimi and I was born November 14, 1994 in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso and it is a quiet town that has seen me grow. I live with my parents in the beautiful city of Sya. I had to do "school of the future" until the third grade, but I have not had the chance to continue my studies due to lack of financial means. I'm in the sale of garden produce such as cabbage, fresh tomatoes, onions, bananas etc.. This activity is very beneficial to the extent that these products are used in the consumption habits of households. I grow all these market gardeners in the fields with my parents products and reap later. I use covered vehicles as a means of transportation that I rent at $ 31 USD. Loading bananas, once a destination is sold at $ 515 USD, a basket of fresh tomatoes at $ 10.31 USD (this price varies and can often go at $ 20.62 USD or down at $ 5.15 USD depending on the frequency), when the I sell cabbages at $ 5.15 cart. Part of the profit from this trade is used to spending our family as education of my brothers and sisters, clothes, food, and the purchase of pharmaceuticals in case of illness. For this second loan, I would use $ 200 dollars to develop my hangar located at KOKO area, given the rainy season ahead at home in Burkina Faso, and $ 250 USD to strengthen my ability thank you.

My Business

Bonjour chers prêteurs,
Actuellement je fais le commerce de banane, choux, oignons, tomates fraiches au marché de Koko. Je suis dans cette activité depuis quelques temps et j’arrive à m’en sortir. Je cultive toutes ces marchandises aux champs avec mes parents, pour récolter après et revendre au marché dans les bâchés. Je vends le chargement de banane à deux cent cinquante milles (250000) Franc. Je vends un panier de tomates fraiches à cinq mille (5000) Franc et ce prix varie et peut aller souvent à dix mille (10000) Franc ou redescendre à deux mille (2500) Franc. Je vends le chargement de choux à quinze mille (15000) Franc. Tous les gains de ce commerce sont utilisés pour les dépenses de notre famille. Je vous remercie.
