About Me

My name is Lassina Barro and I was born on August 21, 1964 in Bobo-Dioulasso, where I now live. I come from a polygamous family of which I am the second son. I started school at age 7 and I received my primary school certificate, but I had to stop afterwards because of family difficulties. I have a small business reselling spare vehicle parts in Bobo-Dioulasso.

My Business

I sell spare vehicle parts, such as ball joints, piston rings, pistons, tie rods, steering rods, master cylinders, rear and front shock absorbers, push joints, bearings, alternator belts, distributor belts, etc. I buy these parts in Mali and often in Ghana as well. These parts are from vehicle brands such as Mitsubishi, Peugeot etc. I can make a sale of at least one hundred thousand (100,000) CFA francs per month. My monthly expenses amount to about fifty-five thousand (55,000) CFA francs. This is often because I buy spare parts but they don't sell due to a slow market.

Loan Proposal

When I get my third loan with Zidisha, I'm going to buy a large quantity of spare parts in neighboring countries such as Nigeria and Mali to sell to my clients in Burkina Faso. Such as ball joints, segments, pistons, coupling rods, tie rods, wheel cylinders, front and rear shocks, push joints, bearings, alternator belts, timing belts, etc. I thank you.

    Dear Lenders,

    Due to a data entry error, we incorrectly credited Mr. Barro's account with a payment meant for another borrower. Upon removal of this payment, you may see your lending balances decrease accordingly.

    We apologize for the inconvenience!

    Dear lenders,
    I have several clients who promised to make payments on the merchandise they're buying from me, but so far they aren't able to pay yet. I hope to get all the money by the end of the week and make my payment to Zidisha. Thank you for understanding.

    This is just to say, dear lenders, that I had some difficulties with my repayment this month, several days after the feast of Tabaski (Eid). Please don't worry, since I'll start paying again very soon. Thank you for your trust and the help you bring to the community.

    Hello dear lenders,
    I think I am capable of repaying the whole amount of my loan in three months, so I'd like to change my calendar to reflect that. I think that will make things much better since I'll repay quickly, and I hope in the future to ask for a larger amount so I can make my vehicle business grow.
