I lisna 26 years old, I live with my parents in a remote village of Bonto Masunggu Village. Bone, Actually I have 7 siblings 3 siblings and 3 younger siblings, Sister all have family and 2 siblings still while school and the other work, I myself have finished my last education at a university In Makassar my health background is finished in december in 2011 after completion in 2012 I tried to register at some private hospitals in Makassar but did not pass and finally in 2013 I decided to return to the village (village Bonto Masunggu) trying to serve / volunteer at a Puskesmas in my village subdistrict but the devotion I just went back 1 year ago because I have a desire to have income that I can use in everyday needs and family needs including helping my sister who is still in school so I decided to help my mother"s business selling and selling agricultural products.

In general, Bontomasunggu villagers are farmers. Agricultural products originating from this village of high value are Rice, Chocolate, Coffee, Peanut and Sugar Palm. Since about 20 years ago my mother has started the business of buying agricultural products from this village and then sell to Makassar. But the business of the mother never evolved into a routine with fixed income. What is unique about the mother"s business is to keep the old habits of buying barter system. So farmers bring the agricultural products and then exchanged for basic goods such as Cooking Oil, sugar, instant noodles and others. Actually I know the zidisha is long from the information from Mardiana but not yet interested to know more but after I see founder zidisha Julia Kurnia come directly to place Mardiana Mother I become more interested know and learn more, then I opened zidisha website and read many articles in entrepreneurial menu so I was inspired to grow my mother"s business together. My mother currently sells agricultural products to Makassar 1 to 2 times per week with a turnover of about $ 400 with a 20% profit margin of about $ 80 / week. From this profit I will allocate 10% about $ 10 / week to pay the mortgage to zidisha.

Hereditary habits since the past is trading barter system is still very thick in my village. This business has been run by my parents since tens of years ago who lived our family even send their children to school. Now because the elderly parents of this business I take over and plan to develop more modern. This loan I will use to buy supplies of basic necessities that people usually need everyday. They exchange their agricultural produce and plantations with the essentials they need. The basic necessities that will be distok are:

1. Cooking Oil 60 Pcs @ 25000 IDR = 1,500,000 IDR

2. Sugar Sand 80 kilogram @ 12000 IDR = 1,020.000 IDR

3. Tea 60 Pcs @ 5000 IDR = 300.000 IDR

4. Coffee 30 Pcs @ 15.000 IDR = 450.000 IDR

5. Wash Soap 160 Pcs @ 5000 IDR = 800.000 IDR

6. Salted Fish 65 Kilogram @ 15000 IDR = 975.000 IDR

It is my hope that the funders can still give me full support and trust in my business, regards
