I started school in 1990 and high school in 1997 in Kindia at Lycée General Lansana Conté. After two years of training, I went to the college of Mines and Geology of Boké (I.S.M.G). I finished in April 11, 2011 with distinction, and I did training in other larger businesses like Boké, Fria, Kamsar, Siguiri etc. ...

Currently I am at the IT centre at Gomboyah (Coyah) since 2012. I have a moto taxi that runs in Coyah and I transport palm oil from N’Nzérékoré to Conakry.

I also dream of being a businessman.

It was in 2010 that I started my daily moto taxi business. The bike was purchased at 5.000.000 fg, traveling from 2012/17/12 until now, in Guinea-Conakry (Prefecture Coyah) District Gomboyah. The bike is assigned to the driver who is paid and every day makes about 50.000 fg. Sundays are a day for maintenance of the machine, and the rest of the day the driver can rest. I pay him a sum of 200.000 fg. This bike gives me 180.000 fg Monday-Saturday.

In addition to this, I also sell palm oil. I leave every Saturday in Conakry by car (Muni Bust) for N'Nzérékoré. Our customers in the village expect us, and sell us oil for 100.000 fg a container, and its transportation costs 25.000 fg. That is to say, 1 container = 125.000 fg.

When I returned to Conakry, I resell it for 200.000 fg per container, that is to say one container gives me a profit of 76.000 (should be 75.000?) per week. Each trip, I can transport from 80-100 containers.

I plan to make progress and advance in the future. That is why I am asking Zidisha for a loan.
