About Me

I am married and father of 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. I live in sector 24 of the city of Bobo Dioulasso. I have started breeding poultry and cows because I love to do that and also after I retired from my job in the army I wanted to start a business. Animal breeds are the third biggest export product for my country and we depend for more than 60 billion CFA per year on the export of milk.

My Business

I have started to breed poultry and cows for milk because the demand is much higher than the offer and right now there is not at all a problem of competition. At the moment I have 200 high quality roosters and 50 local chickens that I am feeding up for the holidays of the end of the year. A loan with Zidisha would allow me to buy a larger amount of animals to feed in anticipation of Easter.

Loan Proposal

I ask this loan for cattle fattening in preparation for the celebrations of Ramadan and Tabaski.Those are the periods when demand exceeds supply in neighboring countries such as the Ivory Coast, Togo, Ghana, and Nigeria.They overcome this demand by buying in Burkina Faso.Therefore this is a good time to do business for me. This loan will allow me to increase my capacity by buying animals which can be bought these days for a good price. When these holidays arrive I can sell them with 70-80% profit.

About Me

je suis marié père de 4 enfants dont trois filles un garçon .Je suis militaire de formation j'ai pris ma retraite en 2010 ;quand j'étais en activité dans l'armée je pratiquais l'élevage par passion et quand j'ai été mis à la retraite à 54 ans j'ai préféré en faire mon activité principale . J'ai donc acquis une parcelle de deux hectares non loin de la ville pour exercer ,compte tenu du fait que l'élevage constitue le troisième produit d'exportation de mon pays il ne fait aucun doute que ça un apport important dans la balance commerciale .Elle est une activité qui va en droite ligne de la politique de développement économique de mon pays.Compte tenue des dizaines d'années d'expérience que j'ai acquise je n'ai eu aucune difficulté en m'engageant dans cette activité depuis 2009 juste un an avant mon départ à la retraite. Je peux dire qu'elle me permet de gagner ma vie

My Business

j'ai,une ferme agro-pastorale ou je fais la volaille et les bovins avec option production laitière ,j'ai bénéficié d'un premier prêt zidisha qui m'a permis d'accroitre le nombre de coqs reproducteurs que j'ai engraissé et vendu pendant les fêtes de pacques.Compte tenu de la possibilité d'accroissement de mes activités que m'offrent mon espace je voudrai faire de l'embouche bovine pour le ramadan , mon pays est producteur de bétail et nous fournissons la viande aux pays côtiers limitrophes .ce qui veut dire que la demande dépasse l'offre , nous fournissons le togo la côte d'ivoire le nigéria le ghana ...
Pendant les fêtes de Ramadan et de tabaski on arrive pas à satisfaire la demande

Loan Proposal

je demande ce prêt pour faire l'embouche bovine en vue de préparer les fêtes de ramadan et de la tabaski.C'est des périodes pendant lesquelles la demande dépasse l'offre
Pendant ces périodes les pays voisins tels la Côte-D'Ivoire le Togo le ghana le Nigéria ... se ravitaillent au Burkina en viande.Donc c'est une bonne période pour faire de bonnes affaires .Cela me permettra d'accroitre ma capacité de production par la vente des animaux que je pourai achéter en ces temps a bon prix par ce que c'est un moment des vaches maigres.Donc c'est possible de faire 70%à 80% de bénéfice

    Mien,
    Thanks so much for letting us know Banse's position. I was sorry to hear he was in hospital but I do hope his health has improved and he's feeling much better.

    Dear lenders,
    Banse has informed me this morning that he was not able to make his repayment on Dec 25 as he planned because he is in hospital since Dec 18. As soon as he may leave the hospital he'll make his repayment. In the meantime I wish him a quick recovery and I hope you do that as well. Thank you so much,
    Mien

    bonjour juste pour dire merci aux prêteurs et les informer de l'impact du prêt sr mes activités, j'ai pu installer un moulin à grain ce qui me permet d'avoir de l'aliment bétail en décortiquant le maïs et aussi c'est un ouf de soulagement pour les femmes de mon quartier qui ne parcourent plus de longues distances pour accéder à un moulin je dit donc merci à ceux qui m'ont fait confiance en me prêtant leur argent avec ce prêt j'ai doublé le nombre de mes animaux d’embouche qui sont passés de six à douze par vague
    Que Dieu vous bénisse

    bonsoir juste dire une fois merci à ceux qui m'ont fait confiance et m'ont prêté leur argent , il me fallait du temps pour installer la machine a décortiquer et moudre la farine , maintenant c'est chose faite , j'ai commencé à exploiter , ce qui me permet d'avoir du son de céréale pour mes animaux l'autre avantage aussi c'est que la tache des femmes de mon quartier est allégée , elle n'ont plus besoin de faire des heures pour moudre ou décortiquer en quelques minutes c'est fait et elles continuent pour d'autres activités , vous comprenez donc que j'ai atteint deux objectifs , économique et sociale aussi j'ai créé un emploi qui nourri une famille de trois personnes
    Que Dieu vous bénisse je vous envoie les photos de l'installation

    Hello, I will soon take possession of my loan, and I thank all of those who put confidence in me to lend me their money. I am installing the machine now, and once the installation is finished I'll put the photo online to let my lenders see the "jewel" their money helped me buy. This money will also let me employ one other person. Also, the neighborhood women won't have to travel a long way anymore to grind grain into flour. You see, then, the importance of this project. Thank you.

    Hello dear lenders, I am glad to inform you that my farm is doing well. The first herd of cattle that I bought is ready for sale, only I am waiting for the right moment, i.e. the feast of Ramadan in August to get them out and then buy more cattle for the herd.
    I say thank you again for supporting my project.
    God bless you,

    Dear lenders,
    I am still in Burkina Faso as Client Relationship Manager for Zidisha and I just wanted to tell you that I am so proud of Mr Youngton Banse, who was among the first borrowers when we started our program here. He was in the capital Ouagadougou last week, just for a few days, and he invited me for tea and a sandwich. It was very nice meeting him again and hearing how passionate and serious he is about his business. Keep supporting him, he really deserves it!
    Thanks,
    Mien

    I'm really pleased to see that good people were willing to trust me and my project. I would like to say thank you and reassure them that I will do everything to deserve the trust they have placed in me. Monday I will be able to go to the bank for the funds and buy animals with it. As soon as I have them I will post photos for those who have helped me to see their impact

    Be blessed all

    Hello dear Zidisha lenders. With great joy I thank you for your commitment to support my business.
    I took a big step and I just finished the repayment of my loan.
    It is a joy for me to know that people who do not know me physically, that they still allowed me to lend their money so I could develop my business. Soon I'll apply for a new loan
    God bless you.

    Goodnight, my chicks evolve well. I've had them since December 15, 2012 and they are now two months old.
    I think I can sell them for Easter. After that I will seek more help to take more cockerels. Once again I thank the members who have Zidisha for having the confidence in me to accompany me in my breeding project. God bless you

    Hi, I am the current (and first) Client Relationship Volunteer in Burkina Faso and a few days ago I had the chance to meet Mr. Youngton during my visit to Bobo Dioulasso. He's a very ambitious person and I hope that a beautiful career as business man will be following his career in the army. Mr. Youngton is also a very much respected pastor in his community. And here are some of the pictures I made at his farm two days ago:
