About Me

I am a dynamic woman who lives in the suburbs. I am married and am the mother of four children; my husband is a worker in a company. Considering this situation, and being from a poor family, I became involved in business. It will soon be 10 years and I do well for myself. I work in a large market in Parcelles Assainies. I have always participated in women’s groups, who taught me how to work in groups or individually and how to read and write. We do not pay rent in the house in which we live. I have a shop at the market thanks to my commitment to my work. With the help of Zidisha, I could complete my orders on time.

My Business

I am a saleswoman at the market. It will soon be ten years that I have been in this profession. Before I would travel to purchase my merchandise but now it is delivered to my shop. I sell to many merchants coming from other markets because a lot of my relatives have fields. I am asking for a loan from Zidisha to respond to my clients' demand and so my sales will not be interrupted. Profits are not high but I am able to manage my problems at the end of the month and if I obtain the financing it will allow me to earn a lot more.

Loan Proposal

I am asking for a new loan to continue my sales. I currently have a shop. I do not pay rent anymore and I have loyal customers. I thank you for having faith in me and I plan on paying my debts on time. Thank you for your support.

I sell vegetables. I know this profession quite well; I like it a lot and business is good. I wake up early to go get vegetables and I work close to my home.

About Me

Suis une femme dynamique, qui habite dans la banlieue, marié et mère de 4 enfants. mon mari est ouvrier dans une société. Vu la situation étant dans une famille pauvre je me suis lancée dans le commerce ca bientot 10ans et je gagne bien ma vie. Je travaille dans une grande marcher au parcelles assainies. Je me suis toujours adhéré dans les groupements de femmes qui m’ont appris à travailler en groupe ou individuelle et faire de l’alphabétisation. La maison que nous habitons nous ne payons pas le loyer. J’ai une cantine au marché grâce à mon persévérance dans le travail et l'aide de zidisha je pourrais passer mes commandes à temps

My Business

Je suis vendeuse au marché, ca fait bientôt dix ans que je suis dans le métier avant j’aller acheter mes marchandises mais maintenant on me livre dans ma cantine et c’est moi qui vend beaucoup de commerçants venant des autres marché car beaucoup de mes parents ont des champs. Je sollicite le prêt à zidisha pour répondre à la demande de mes clientes et qu’il n’y est pas de rupture dans mes ventes. Le bénéfice n’est pas beaucoup mais j’arrive à régler mes problèmes à la fin du mois et si j’obtiens le financement ca me permettra de gagner beaucoup mieux.

Loan Proposal

je viens renouveler mon prêt pour continuer mes ventes et actualement j'ai un cantine je ne paie plus de loyer et j'ai des clients et clientes fidèles je vous remercie pour la confiance et je compte payer à temps mes dettes merci pour le soutien. Je suis vendeuse de légumes et je connais très bien ce métier que j'aime bien et qui marche je me lève tôt pour aller chercher des légumes et c'est pas loin de ma maison.

    Hello,
    My French is very poor, but I could understand that you are courageous and dynamic. Also that you are a hard worker who gets up at 5 in the morning for your preparations. So, I am sure you will be successful. Happy International Women's Day.
    Best regards, Ann
