About Me

My booth, like the many other kiosks in Bobo Dioulasso, is located not far from the construction of the brand new sister sector of 22. We can serve morning coffee or tea with a hamburger or omelette. The master of this kiosk is me. My name is Gnazanga Mahama Traore, and I'm 25 years old. I'm not married yet. From 5 am to 22pm, I am seated behind my counter, helped by my younger brother for all those who ask to be served. My ship, named "Club 8," is a metallic structure with three openings, two of which are windows and the third is a door, is equipped with a refrigerator and a small area equipped to accommodate "the kitchen" ( a gas stove).

My Business

Everywhere in the city of Bobo Dioulasso appear kiosks that are remarkable for their signs and their bright colors. Mine is a very attractive color of blue. You can take a morning coffee or tea, rice or pasta are almost part of the daily program. It is also possible to eat soup with fish or meat. So you can eat a meal at a reasonable price or 200-300 francs. My booth also offers refreshments to drink when needed. It is not much, but quite enough to make savings and to support the education of my two little brothers. Thank you for that first loan that will relieve a little of my time acquiring a gas cylinder.

Loan Proposal

Thank you so much for your first loan. With that money I was able to buy a gas heater that makes it easier to prepare small meals such as pasta and sandwiches. This time I would like to buy a refrigerator costing 150,000 francs. I know that this will prove to be an excellent investment in 4 or 5 months' time, as February through May are the hottest months of the year in Burkina Faso. I'll be able to sell lots of drinks because everyone is so thirsty at that time of year. The rest of the money, around 50,000 francs, would allow me to buy extra stock that I could sell in time of need. Thank you to all Zidisha staff and to all lenders.

About Me

Dans mon kiosque, pareil aux nombreux autres kiosques de Bobo Dioulasso, situé non loin de l’immeuble des sœur flambant neuf du secteur 22, on peut se faire servir le matin du café ou du thé accompagné d’un sandwich de viande hachée ou d’omelette. Le maître à bord de ce kiosque, c’est moi. Je me nomme Gnazanga Mahama Traore, et j’ai 25 ans. Je ne suis pas encore marié. De 5h à 22h, je trône derrière mon comptoir, aidé par mon jeune frère, servant tous ceux qui demandent à être servis. Mon navire, nommé « Le Club 8 », une boîte métallique percée de trois ouvertures, dont deux sont une fenêtre et la troisième, une porte, est équipé d’un réfrigérateur et d’un petit coin aménagé pour accueillir « la cuisine » (une gazinière).

My Business

Un peu partout dans la ville de Bobo Dioulasso apparaissent des kiosques qui se font remarquer par leurs pancartes et leurs couleurs vives. Le mien est de couleur bleu et très attrayant. Vous pouvez y prendre un café matinal, ou un thé, du riz ou des pates sont presque au programme de tous les jours. Il est aussi possible d’y manger de la soupe de poisson ou de la viande. Ainsi vous pouvez manger un plat à un prix raisonnable de 200F ou 300FCFA. Mon kiosque propose également des rafraîchissements pour se désaltérer en cas de besoin. Pas grand-chose donc, mais assez suffisant pour faire de l’épargne et prendre en charge la scolarité de deux de mes petits frères. Je vous remercie pour ce premier prêt qui viendra soulager un temps soit peu mon besoin en bouteille de gaz.

Loan Proposal

Merci infiniment pour le premier prêt. Grâce a cet argent, il m’a permis d’acheter une bouteille de gaz qui facilite dorénavant la cuisson des petits plats comme les pattes, les sandwiches. Pour cette fois ci, je voudrais toujours que vous acceptiez m’accompagner dans l’achat d’un réfrigérateur qui va me couter 150000 francs Cfa. Convaincu que je pourrais rentabiliser cela dans un laps temps de 4 à 5 mois vu que la période de février à Mai est une période de canicule au Burkina. Je pourrais cependant faire de bonne affaires car le besoin de se désaltéré à tout moment est présent a cause de la chaleur intense. Le restant d’argent soit à peu près 50000 francs CFA pourrais me servir pour l’achat de stock supplémentaires et va constitues un stock de sécurité. Merci a vous staff de zidisha, merci également a vous prêteurs.

    Salut chers Staff de Zidisha
    Ce message est pour faire part du changement dont je souhaiterai apporté a mon calendrier de remboursement passant ainsi de 24000 a 20000 francs CFA. Je suis partant en ce moment pour un des funérailles au village et je ne serai pas de retour avant la fin de ce mois, raison pour laquelle je porte ce changement dont je compte respecter mes engagement a mon retour.
