I am a mother and married. I am a businesswoman, very entrepreneurial, serious, dynamic, and hardworking. I am a leader who fights for the promotion of women's emancipation, I have studied and am very well-read.

I live in my husband's house, my husband died recently. I am originally from St Louis, my parents are still there. I am part of a large family: I have 4 brothers and 5 sisters of the same mother and father.

I am a merchant by profession. I sell different articles depending on the current needs of my customers. I sell cloth and beauty products for women. I buy merchandise in Mauritania, the Gambia, and Mali. I often sell on credit through members of my association as well as directly to consumers.

With a Zidisha loan, I plan to go to Mauritania to buy merchandise because trade is good for me and I generate significant profits. My costs are transportation and the cost of merchandise.

I am requesting this money, because I want to strengthen my business. I plan to travel to MaIi to buy "thioup" cloth. Right now the weather is getting colder, so I want to go to Mali to buy "thioup carite," which is very good for the skin, as well as other items. I am asking you all!
