My name is Josephine Anta Ndiaye. I am a young Senegalese woman living in Dakar with my family. After high school I could not get my university degree, so I decided to train to become a caterer. Meanwhile I have a small business of creating dishes and reselling them. My goal is to create my own proper catering company after completing my training. My business is just beginning and I need your loans to develop, for my clientele is growing and I need to expand my business.
As future restaurant owner, I decided to open a small business to offer various dishes to customers. I prepare dishes learned in my culinary training and sell them. These include spring rolls, various sandwiches, fatayas, and some African and European dishes like fufu, atiéké, and paella. I have a loyal clientele who comes every day to refuel, and sometimes I can not satisfy them so I need funds to increase my business. Competition does not scare me because I am fortunate to have a good education; I want to open a large restaurant, and with the help of Zidisha, I will.
Since I already have a small catering business and I'm still training to become a restaurant owner, I intend to use the loan to strengthen the catering business because the clientele is there and I feel business will increase. I intend to buy a lot more goods and prepare more food because I often run out and cannot serve all of my customers.. The loan will then allow me to be in tune with the demand and possibly even offer other dishes that may interest clients. Particularly with Ramadan approaching, demand is likely to be very high.
