About Me

I am from Senegal and have completed the basic schooling here in the country, followed by a training program in the insurance sector. Confronted by the need to find gainful employment, I turned to entrepreneurship with the goal of developing revenue-generating activities. I design projects that will lead to financial autonomy; that will allow me to live a normal life without depending on others for help.

My Business

I am currently developing a poultry farming micro-enterprise. I buy two to three days old chickens and I raise them for 45 days. I then sell them on the local market.

Loan Proposal

The request loan will be used for a poultry farming project. The loan will allow the purchase of:
- two hundred (200) day-old chicks at a unit cost of 500 FCFA BCEAO for a subtotal of 100000 FCFA BCEAO
- six (6) bags of feed at a unit cost of 15000 FCFA BCEAO for a subtotal of 240000 FCFA BCEAO
- feeders and poultry drinking bowls amounting to 35000 FCFA BCEAO

The operations needs to last two months for each 2-kg chicken to be sold for 3000 FCFA BCEAO. The income from sales is projected at 600000 FCFA BCEAO for a net profit per operation of 225000 FCFA BCEAO.

    I am forced to make changes to my account to be in good standing until the restoration of commission that Zidisha owes me, as I have helped other clients. This unexpected situation cause me harm on the repayment of my loan.

    Dear Julia;
    I'm writing this message as Volunteer Coach Zidisha for Senegal to share with you the support that I'm doing with borrowers of Zidisha whom I help with their registration. My help is not limited helping them register, but also by accompany them for the success of their business. It is for this reason that I organized a meeting for members of Zidisha talking about funding recipients in the operating mechanism and the procedures of Zidisha. This meeting was an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of loan repayments so that new members can ensure harmonious development with Zidisha. You can see the photos at this event.
    Samba Ndiaye,

    Chers prêteurs;
    Je viens par ce présent message en ma qualité de Coach Bénévole zidisha pour le Sénégal de vous faire part l'accompagnement que je suis entrain de faire avec les membres de zidisha que j'ai assisté pour leur inscription. Mon assitance ne se limite pas à les faire inscrire mais à les accompagner pour la réussite de leur entreprise. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai organisé une rencontre de mise à niveau pour les membres bénéficiaires de financement zidisha dans les mécanisme de fonctionnement et les procédures de ZIdisha. Cette rencontre était une occasion de les sensibiliser sur l'importance des remboursements des prêts reçus afin que de nouveaux membres puissent bénéficier et garantir pour zidisha un développement harmonieux et préserver l'équilibre. Vous pouvez voir les photos lors de cette manifestation.

    Bonjour,
    suite à des difficultés de trésorerie consécutive à une mauvaise exploitation et une perte de plus de 50 poulets de chairs je me trouve dans l'obligation de vous demander un délai pour le remboursement intégral des arrièrès de remboursement. A cet effet le projet que j'avais investi est à trouver pour les deux mois passés à des conséquences négatives de l'exploitation avec la perte des sujets avant leur termes.

    Dear lenders,
    I just finished the second commercial operation which consists of poultry farming with 100 chicks that arrived full-term. Among the 100 chicks I lost some twenty and currently the 80 chickens purchased on credit I put up for sale at the festival of Korité. The due date for the payment is planned for September 15, 2012. I offered them for 4000 FCFA per unit. I should normally collect a sum of 320000 FCFA and I had spent 135000 FCFA for the entire operation;
    I’d like to tell you about the advancement of my operation for which you see the importance of the support that you have given me in my business.
    I will update you around September 20 for another evaluation and the return of funds available and the elements of the third operation that I expect to get off the ground in the beginning of October.

    Dear Lenders,
    I would like to inform you that thanks to your support my first poultry farming operation is completed.
    Indeed I just sold my chicken with a profit of 75% of my expenses. The profit I made allows me to make two scheduled payments without having to use the original capital. I am currently working on a second operation which is for the Korité celebrations (Ramadan). It is a period of high consumption for Muslims. I hope to make a 100% profit margin. If you are interested as a lender, I wish to develop partnerships with lenders who want to invest in Senegal. I would like to work on projects on a bigger scale in Senegal.

    Good evening Lenders,

    I would like to share with you how I invested the loan I’ve received from you on 05/21/12. To this end, I have bought broilers and chicken feed with the intention of raising the chicks and selling them within a period of 45 days. I hope to make 100% benefit of the cost of operation. So far, I have spent 200,000 CFA francs.
    I want to keep you informed of developments in my business and the use of funds you’ve readily put at my disposal.
