I am a member of a family which have 6 children. I am the 4th child. Despite poverty of my parents, all my brothers and sisters went to school. My father was a trader and he spent all his day at the market. My mother took care of the children, she works for house hold and took his free time to sell peanuts at entering to the Court. After leaving the school for because poverty of my parents, I learned to make several types of work without success. One time my cousin advised to learn the welding. So I asked my father to register me in a training center in welding. After three years of training in this center, I integrated a welding workshop for practice. The boss of the workshop was a very gentle. After my internship assignment, I have had the financial support of my father and my uncle make my own welding workshop. Since I opened my workshop, everything goes well. Today, I am married and I have a child who have three years old. This child is in a nursery school. With zidisha, I want a loan to pay for a machine to weld much more efficient than I have now. It will allow me to be even more attractive in my field whose quality and punctuality in the work can make the difference with the others welders.
Since I left school, I started welding that I was doing because I hadn’t other resulting in the life. Now, this work has become a passion for me. In my welding workshop I manufactures doors, windows, metals chairs and tables and many others things that I sell directly to customers. But I also get orders from some customers that specify the shape of things that they require. In welding, the needsare increasing because as long as people build homes they need always the services of welder. People need every time and everywhere to sit on chair. For the manufacture of a metal chair for high quality of iron, I propose $16 to customers. With a command, I have $5 or $6 as gain. As regards the doors and windows of the House, the benefit varies between $20 and $50 depending on iron quality. It is with the income from this work that I pay the nursery school for my child $95 per year. Now I want to enlarge my work with new equipment as a welding machines more efficient.
Dear lenders, thank you all for your support. I am still here to ask for a new loan to repair my welded machine. This will allow me to increase my income up to $ 0.5 per days. I am very happy because thank to your support, I can expect the better for the futur. God bless you!
