About Me

I received an education based on the cultural values of our community. In our community, respect for the elderly and the esteem of others are best shared. So, I have always had a love of work well done. That's what made me a brilliant student at school. My father worked in the public service and my housewife. My older brother is currently teaching at a primary school. Since my childhood, I have always been impatient in life. That's why my failure at my first school exam was a difficult time for me. But, my parents have made me understand that only patience can lead man to his happiness. That is why I have adopted this approach. Being a girl I knew I was going to get married one day. So I asked a lot of questions about this:
"Who will be my husband?"
"Will he have the means to take care of me as I please?"
- Is it the man who must take all the expenses of the family in charge?
"What can I learn from those who are already married?"
- What do I have to do to flourish in life?
These are some questions I have asked myself about the condition of the existence of man on earth. After these questions, I understood that the man and the woman have to help themselves in the family for the happiness of the couple. That's why I decided to learn sewing.

My Business

My main activity is sewing clothes. I started my training for four years in this sewing workshop. I finished my training, but I lack the money to have my own sewing workshop. This is the reason that motivates me to come to zidisha to ask for his support. At the moment I can receive my clients at my trainer, but often he is not happy with that. Currently, I can get $ 30 a month. My clients promised to join me in my workshop if I could open it. My father promised to buy me a sewing machine. But it's been a long time since he made this promise to me and did not realize it. So I think I have to find sources of funding. After opening my sewing business, I still have other projects like selling clothes and other things. My ambition is to be able to employ people who will work with me. I also want to train other people who want to make a career in sewing. But I must first have my sewing workshop.

Loan Proposal

Now I want a loan to sell clothes already sewn in my sewing workshop. Soon will be the end of year festivities and people are buying many new clothes to welcome the new year. Many people also ask us to sew for them. That's why I want to sell and sew at the same time. It is an activity that will help me to increase my income very considerably. Thank you for the previous loan and I hope you will help me again.

    There were no payments from March 2018 to June 2019, when I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund.
