About Me
My name is Sawadogo Awa, and I am a 19-year-old young woman. I was born in Koumassi, Ghana's second largest city. I am of Burkinabe nationality and currently reside in Bobo Dioulasso. Having begun primary school in Ghana, I was brought to Bobo Dioulasso when I was 8, where I started school again. I had trouble adapting because I only spoke English in the French-speaking country of Burkina Faso. I have a CPE (Certificate of Primary Education), a BEPC (Junior Secondary Education Certificate) and have also received certificates in Information Technology and Business Management from "Maison de l'entreprise". Thanks to the help of my sister Sawadogo Fatimata, who is a member here, I am writing in the hopes of benefiting from your services.
My Business
First of all, I would like to thank you for the wonderful opportunity that I have been given. I am a meticulous and honest person, and I will spare no effort to ensure that this translates my ambitions into concrete action. It is a great honor to be accepted into the wonderful ZIDISHA family. I am a cashier in a grocery store (SHELL-SHOP) and I work 3 days out of 7. My salary is CFA 40,000. Having put money aside in the last two years, I have been able to establish my own business of selling various types of merchandise. In my store you can find cookies, tooth brushes, bread, canned food, soap, milk, etc.
My store is on the main road of Sector 21, right in front of the SKI station. My clientele is very diverse: adults, kids, passers by, neighbors... There is some competition, but being so close to the station is a big advantage. Each day my profits vary, and I earn on average CFA 4,500 to CFA 6,000 per day.
I come asking for a first loan in order to better organize the running of my business, and to later recruit an employee who would manage the shop during my work days.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best.

Je suis caissière dans une une alimentation (SHELL-SHOP) et je travaille 3 jours sur 7, et je bénéficie d'un salaire de 40 000 frs . Mais voila deux ans de cela que j'ai pu grâce a mon épargne et quelque prêt que j'ai pu obtenu mettre en place mon propre entreprise de vente de marchandises divers.
