About Me
I am Senegalese. I was born in Dakar. I am a married woman with four children – three girls and one boy. I am the oldest in my family so I support the families of my brothers and sisters as well. After receiving my diploma, I started a sewing business. I studied clothing production for four years and I received three diplomas – dressmaking, knitting and embroidery. After that, I opened up my own sewing space in my parents' home. After a few years of work, my father passed away. Two years later, the ceiling broke and we are still in construction of repairing it. After it is finished, I will return to my sewing space. I have continued to work at my home while waiting for the work to be finished at my sewing space. If I receive this money, I will invest it in a window/door for my sewing space, mannequins and fabric so I can get back to work.
My Business
I sell clothing, shoes and miscellaneous things. My husband helps me sell these products at the place where he works in Dakar. This is how I sell ready-made clothing. By the end of every month, I sell at least 50,000-100,000CFA (roughly $100-$200 USD). The profits are often 20,000-30,000 CFA (roughly $40-$60 USD) each month. Sometimes, clients bring fabric to me to have made into clothing and they pay me. I participated in a women's revolving credit association in which I would contribute 25,000 CFA each month. I received credit from the association in 2008 and have already payed it back.
Loan Proposal
I want to expand my workshop, to buy an other machine and open a notions store. So, I could earn more money. 'Cause I have 2 employees under my responsability, that depend on me and that have to provide for their families. So, I need that money to work, I want to buy dummies and displays to exhibit better my clothes collection, to buy an iron door for the store safety. And I sincerely count on your funds and your support for the success of my dream, I am still counting on the cofundings of lenders. I wish to work and become someday a millionnaire woman. Thanks for the advance.
