My name is Ms. Coulibaly, born Houna Néné Traore. I was born on January 24, 1962. I currently manage a facility that processes and sells palm wine, commonly known as Bandji here. I am married and have two children. I was born in Banfora, a town located 90 km outside of Bobo Dioulasso. It is a city bustling with tourist attractions such as the Karfiguela waterfalls, for example. Selling palm wine is something that I learned at a very young age from my mother. Today, my hope is to transform the processing industry for this product, which has been practiced by traditional means since long ago. I think and hope that with your help, this dream could become a reality and I will finally be able to open my own factory, thus creating many jobs (mostly for the younger generation) and reducing poverty in Burkina Faso. Thank you for helping me reach this goal.

I produce palm wine (Bandji) which I then transfer into bottles and packets which I then sell. I have more than 10 years of experience in this field. My facility is designed as a household enterprise and is located in Sector 10 of Bobo Dioulasso. Today, I would like to purchase equipment and raw material in order to expand my production, thus fulfilling a growing demand. These days I have been participating in fairs such as the Sindou fair, and SNC.

Hello dear lenders,

This loan would allow me to strengthen my inventory by buying packets designed for juice processing in bulk. Thank you so much for the opportunity that you are giving me to take my company to the next level. The demand is always on the rise, and for that reason I need materials for storage. I also hope to purchase a few small bottles at this time.
