About Me

I am an IT specialist who worked for the Senegalese government and local IT companies for more than ten years. Now I’ve set up a small IT company for over one year. My skills are wide and can do lot of things like, building websites, trainings, networking, etc. As a committed person to serve communities, I also conducted so many projects that involved lot of volunteers through an association I set up with a friend to help low income community members through Senegal for 4 years now. I am going from success to success.

My Business

Among the activities I am leading in my IT Company, I organize training sessions targeting low income persons. I’ve gone from the fact that people here want to use ICT technologies for several things like, social networking, emailing, chatting research, etc. This need of using computers is rising and rising, but people are not trained to use them properly and efficiently especially low income persons.
Thus, I decide to organize training sessions to let those people have some knowledge on Internet usage. This will help me improve my business and also have a positive effect on the population.

Loan Proposal

To achieve the goal of training the maximum of persons possible this year, especially young boys and girls, I need to increase the number of computers I have in my office, 4 for the time being. I need two more laptops to be able to host 10 more people per session since the training demand from those people is increasing daily. Even some local NGOs and association are contacting me to organize training sessions for their employees. Internet is being democratized in Senegal with the telecom operators who offer low prices access over the mobile devices. You can simply imagine how your loan can positively impact my business and at the same time take people from ignorance and why not improve their lives.
