I'm a married father of 2 children, soon to be 3, because in a few months my wife will give us a beautiful baby. Currently I am working at a private university here in Niamey. The monthly salary I earn does not meet my needs. It's really not easy to make ends meet. Thus I decided to sell beautiful shirts to students and other customers who frequently ask for them. I enjoy these shirts myself and frequently wear them as advertising. I love the business, and I believe that with Zidisha I will do great business in the years to come.

I sell beautiful shirts that customers find to be very well made and very easy to wear with beautiful patterns. I order them at $8 each and I sell them for $11 or $12 each. The resulting profit allows me to have a lot of control and also it allows me to have a better quality of life, such as being able to provide education and health care for my children. Within a month I can sell 60 to 70 shirts. My objective is to sell 100 to 200 shirts per month. My long-term goal is to open a big store with Zidisha's help.

I am on my fourth loan. Today I thank all donors and all the Zidisha team for everything they do for us. This loan is only increasing my business and also my profits. Today, I can meet the basic needs of my family without worry, thanks to all of you (Zidisha Team and all donors). I strongly believe that one day I will also become a donor and it is my prayer every day. Thank you and thank you again to all of you. Happy New Year 2016.
