My name is Sarata Traore (née Ouedraogo). I was born and raised in Bobo Dioulasso. I did go to school, up to middle school. I was born to a polygamous family; my father married two women in addition to my mother, and I consider them like mothers. I am also married and have six children, including five daughters and a son, all of whom are going to school. My husband is a civil servant and every day I do everything I can to meet my needs and those of my family. I work as a salesperson. I sell traditional wraps made of bazin (damask) fabric.
I have been selling bazin (damask) wraps for many years. This business is successful. Bazin is a type of wrap that is very popular amongst women, and also to a lesser extent amongst men and children. It is expensive because of its quality. I purchase the bazin fabric in Mali and sell it (wholesale or retail) in Bobo Dioulasso and Banfora. Sometimes, I also sell it on credit to civil servants and women who are members of associations. I sell bazins called "Bazin Riche" at the price of 30,000 francs cash, or 40,000 francs on credit (payable in four monthly installments). Zidisha's help would bolster my business.

Madame Traore née Ouedraogo Sarata est mon nom. Je suis née a Bobo Dioulasso, ville qui ma vu grandir. Je suis a mon deuxième prêt auprès de votre institution et je suis dans le domaine de la vente des basins il ya de cela plusieurs années. C’est une activité qui marche bien. Il faut reconnaitre que le basin est un type de pagnes très apprécié par les femmes et un peu par les hommes et les enfants, il coute cher à cause de sa qualité. Je paye le basin au Mali et le revendre en gros et détail a Bobo Dioulasso et Banfora. Il m’arrive aussi de donner à crédit auprès des fonctionnaires et aux femmes qui font partir des associations. Je vend les basins appelé BASIN RICHE à trente mille (30 000) frs au comptant et à 40000frs a crédit en quatre mensualité. Si je bénéficie de l’accompagnement de zidisha cela va me permettre de donner un coup de pouce à mon activité. Merci
