My name is Sandrine Dioulasso Dabou. I was born on April 2, 1989, in Bobo-Dioulasso. I am the youngest of 9 children. I am married and a mother of twins. My husband is a chauffeur. I live with him in the Yegueré neighborhood of Bobo-Dioulasso, the economic capital of Burkina Faso. We live close to a primary school called École Yegueré and a few steps away from a mosque. I completed my primary education up until sixth grade and obtained my CPE (Certificate of Primary Education). I decided to stop because I wanted to learn the embroidery trade.

I spent three years at a school run by nuns where I learned to sew, embroider, and cook, but my specialty was embroidery. It was difficult at first because I did not have the means to make and sell my own embroidery. But thanks to God, I was able to finish my training and buy some linen and fabric to embroider and sell at workplaces and markets. It is going well, therefore I am asking for your help so I can buy a lot of linen and fabric, embroider it, and resell it. I have already received orders from the capital, Ouadougou, but I do not have the means to complete them.

I did three years in a school of religious sisters and we were taught sewing, embroidery, cooking but my specialty was embroidering. The beginning was not easy because I did not have the means to my own embroideries for sale. But thank God I could finish my education I bought some linen and fabrics to embroider and sell services in the market and it worked. So I seek your help buying a lot of cloth and fabrics, embroider and sale. I have already received orders to send them to Ouagadougou in the capital but the means I lack.
