About Me

My name is Salimata Zonou. I was born in Banfora and am 23 years old right now. I began primary school studies just like all children who were my age, meaning at age 7 I went to Chauvingnie Primary School. At school, I did very well all the way up to when I earned my primary school studies certificate in 2004. After completing primary school, I went to Banfora Municpal Secondary School from my 6th level to 5th level and then on to Banfora Sacred Heart Secondary School, where I received my diploma (BEPC). Now I am studies for my baccalaureat as a night school student.

My Business

My business involves selling hair-pieces and open-toed shoes (sandals). The business has helped me and this is because it allows me to support myself and also to give a helping hand financially to my parents. My customers are young women and men who are in to fashion. I especially make the most money before holidays arrive, like those at the end of the year, and also Eid al-Adha (Tabaski), Easter, Ramadan… I travel to Ouagadougou, the capitol of Burkina Faso to purchase merchandise. Sometimes I need to travel to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. There are hair-pieces of many different qualities of which the most sought after right now are Nina, Secret, and MasterPiece brand hair-pieces. Prices vary from one hair-piece to another. The profits I make differ depending on the season. What I mean is that I sell more during the arrival of holidays than during regular periods. I sell a lot more towards the end of the month also. I hope to benefit from a Zidisha loan in order to increase my stock.
