About Me

I am a Senegalese woman who was born in 1979 in Dakar. I am married and mother to three children - two boys and one girl. I live in the home of my husband who is a retailer. I have five sisters and four brothers. We don’t live in our own home, but in my husband's house in Unit 17 Parcelles Assainies. My parents come from the region of Thiès and have lived for a long time in Dakar. A member of our group informed us of the existence of Zidisha and helped to register people on this platform.

My Business

From very early on, I focused on commerce as a way to assure a better future. I did commerce before getting married and I am well known in Parcelles Assainies. I sell bags, shoes, fabrics etc. My business has developed as my clientele has grown in Parcelles. Rather than have a fixed base, I sell my goods by visiting my clients’ houses every time I have new goods to offer them. At the end of each month I purchase more stock with the profile. As a result, I started with a small sum of money and gradually both my business and my ability have increased. I am a retailer and sell wax fabrics, dyed cloth and numerous accessories for women. I have secured a stall in the market (no17) and one of my sisters works with me.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use the loan for my business of selling powdered soap and Javel. My store is in front of my house and I sell various products. I am ready to receive the loan now; my account was active before, but I was on a six-month journey to my hometown and now I am back in Dakar.

    Dear lenders,
    We were unable to make contact with the client in order to arrange for a loan disbursement, so the funds will be credited back to your lender account. You should receive them by today. Thank you for supporting the Zidisha mission!

    Dear Lenders,

    Thank you for your support of Madame Lo, your decision to finance her business is much appreciated. Due to some extraneous and unforeseen circumstances, Madame Lo and her family do not feel comfortable accepting the loan at this time. As you know, taking out a loan is a very serious financial decision and at the moment Madame Lo is not in a place where she feels she will be able to support the monthly repayments of this loan. In the future, Madame Lo may choose to ask for a loan again when she feels it will have a more positive impact on her business.

    Thank you for understanding.
