About Me

Born in Bobo Dioulasso, my married name is Elisabeth Oué Traoré. Being married and a mother, I've had to balance my life as a married woman with my professional life as a merchant, and it's for this reason that I set up a shop selling shoes for women and children located in the city of Bobo and not far from the Sangoulé Laminaza stadium. I went to school and graduated high school and I know how to use computers. Currently I am president of the association called "Balimaya" which means Brotherhood. Thanks to my sister I heard of the microfinance Zidisha, and this is why I come to you now to apply for funding with the aim to expand my small business. Thank you.

My Business

I am a merchant thanks to my mother, and it is an activity I practiced from my childhood during the holidays. Currently I travel a lot in Togo, specifically in Lomé to buy wholesale products: shoes, hair extensions, as well as clothes for women and children. For example, a shoe can be sold for a profit of 400 CFA francs and more. I sell an average of twenty per day and when it's a holiday season such as Tabaski, Christmas, or New Year I can reach forty per day. I would like, then, to benefit from your support to achieve my goals. All the best to you.

I'm shopping that makes importing and thanks to my mother, I travel a lot in the sub region and often in Turkey in order to pay for my goods .I thank God because I currently have a capital of over USD 10,185.3 USD

My Business

The kilt is considered Africa as a symbol of identity and culture, as it can through these different patterns conveyed messages (happiness or unhappiness). The African market is flooded with counterfeit loincloth often coming from Asian continent precisely china time. These campaigns recognize that by their very cheap and inferior quality. I sell in my shop all the different types of cloths because I have a variety of clients (those whose income is high, medium, or low). I am assisted in my trade by 3 people who are: who manages my accounts and two vendors .The trade of cloth, shoes is a noble activity that I would always look to grow this business. It is an activity that I led from my childhood during the holidays so I have a lot of experience in this field. Your support will be very helpful to me because it will allow me to increase my portfolio. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

Je suis commerçante et cela grâce à ma mère, c'est une activité que je menai depuis ma tendre enfance pendant les vacances. Actuellement je voyage beaucoup sur le Togo précisément à Lomé pour acheter en prix d'en gros les chaussures, les mèches pour cheveux, ainsi que les habits pour femmes et enfants. Par exemple une chaussure payer peux être vendu avec un bénéfice de 400 francs CFA et voir plus. Je vends en moyenne une vingtaine par jour et lorsque c'est à l'approche des fêtes comme Tabaski, Noel, ou les fêtes de fin d'année je peux atteindre une quarantaine. Je souhaiterai donc bénéficier de votre appui pour atteindre mes objectifs. Bien à vous.
