About Me

I am a single mother with one child. I come from a polygamous family of nine, of which I am the fourth girl. I was born and raised in Bobo-Dioulasso. Like other children, from the age of seven I went to primary school and earned my primary school certificate. I then went to secondary school where I had to stop at the third class (~ 14). Thanks to my dedication and determination, I was able to join the working world and start my business a dozen years ago. Currently I trade in pagnes (traditional wraps) and my goal is to grow my business, which I why I have come to Zidisha microfinance for a loan. Thank you.

My Business

Trading, like all other businesses, requires courage and above all determination. It must be recognized that my experience in this line of work gives me enormous advantages, to the extent that I have earned the loyalty of a number of important clients who frequent my shop regularly with the intent of buying one or two pagnes. Another advantage is my membership in the Balimaya Association, whose members are my biggest customers. Prices vary from one type of pagne to another. For example, "demi-bloc" pagnes cost me 5,750 FCFA each wholesale, and I resell them for a profit of 600 to 700 FCFA. I also sell Demi-Hollandais and damask pagnes. I thank you and hope that my present project will attract your attention. Thank you.

About Me

Je suis une mère célibataire avec un enfant, je suis issue d’une famille polygame de neuf personnes dont je suis la quatrième fille. Je suis née à Bobo Dioulasso, ville qui m’a vue grandir. Comme les enfants de mon âge dès sept ans j’ai connue la scolarité normale jusqu’à l’obtention de mon certificat d’étude du primaire, puis je me suis retrouver au secondaire ou je me suis limitée en classe de troisième. Grâce à mon dévouement et ma détermination j’ai pu m’insérer dans la vie active en mettant en place mon entreprise voila de cela une dizaine d’année. Je suis en ce moment commerçante de pagne et mon objectif est d’agrandir mon activité raison pour laquelle je viens vers micro finance Zidisha pour un prêt. Merci

My Business

Je suis vendeuse de pagnes et cela près de 15 ans. Mon atoût est mon experience , car j'ai pu nouée durant tout ce temps de bons rapport avec ma clientèle. ce commerce de pagnes dont je pratique est certes difficile mais très passionnant car c'est grâce a ce commerce que j'ai pu fait beaucoup de petites réalisations comme payé une moto qui me permet de déposer ma fille a l'école.
ce nouveau prêt va être très décisif dans le renforcement de ma capacité.
Merci pour tout le bien.

Loan Proposal

Je suis une mère célibataire avec un enfant, je suis issue d’une famille polygame de neuf personnes dont je suis la quatrième fille et je suis a mon troisième prêt. Je vous dit infiniment merci pour le premier et le deuxième prêt que vous aviez bien voulu m'accorder, Je suis toujours dans le commerce, comme toute autre activité, le commerce demande du courage et surtout de la détermination. Il faut reconnaitre que mon expérience dans cette activité me donne des atouts énorme dans la mesure ou j’ai pu fidéliser un nombre importante de mes clients qui fréquentent ma boutique régulièrement dans l’objectif de payer un pagne ou deux. Un deuxième atout, c’est mon appartenance à une Association dénommé Balimaya dont les membres sont mes plus grands clients. Les prix diffèrent d’un pagne à un autre. Par exemple on n’a les types de pagne appelé demi-bloc dont le prix en gros me reviens à 5750 francs CFA et je le revends tout en faisant un bénéfice de 600 à 700 francs CFA. Je vends également les types Demi-Hollandais, ainsi que les Basins. Je vous remercie tout en espérant que mon présent projet attirera votre attention. Je vous remercie.
