About Me

I come from a family of six. We are four children, three girls and I'm the boy. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Ouaga and received entrepreneurship training at the home of the company. Training was organized for the project leaders. I am considering creating my own business selling traditional style shirts made of traditional fabrics such as danfani, bogolan, and pagnes. This project has been close to my heart since childhood because my father wears this style of dress, and he has been my inspiration as an adult. My father is my role model and has encouraged me a lot to get into this project. Not being a fashion designer myself, I intend to associate myself with designers to ensure the success of this project.

My Business

My business is a design company offering shirts and pagne wraps made of traditional African fabrics (danfani and bogolan). I propose to offer shirts with African and Western motifs. Customers will prefer my shirts because they will be made with the motifs of the country's culture. They can be equally shirts for tourists and evening dress shirts. I estimate my monthly revenues at 100,000 FCFA, with monthly expenses of 60,000 FCFA and a profit of 40,000 FCFA. My shirts are affordable at a price of 8,000 FCFA.

Loan Proposal

This loan will be used to source traditional bogolan and danfani fabrics, to set up new clothing concepts. This is an African clothing style. There are new clothing styles of all kinds (children, adults and all ages). with this increased capacity, I can also fulfill orders from customers and even consider the participating in subregional fairs.
