My name is Bousso MBAYE, a woman from Dakar, mother of 5, living in the Parcelles Assainies. I was born in Dakar and was raised in Grand Yoff, a suburb of the capital. I attended school for seven years and can read and write the French language. I am a member of many different women's organizations and President of one of those in the unit neighborhood. I am also president of a tontine.
I am an entrepreneur involved in different business activities. I am a merchant and handle the production of consumer goods. I specifically dye fabric and produce juice from fruits and vegetables. I produce died fabric and I also sell juice, jams, and local grains that I process myself. I work out of my home. That way, without having to pay commercial rent, my operating costs mainly consist of raw materials for the processing. I work with two of my children who help me now that they are out of school. My hope is to set up a small production unit and I rely on the Zidisha financing to make this expansion possible.
I will buy bags of monkey bread, sugar and fruits for the preparation of juice. I will also buy a freezer for the preservation of fresh water. The juice will be sold in the neighborhood. Part of the loan will also allow the purchase of fabric and dye to sell died fabric at the market. The loan will increase my production capacity.
