My name is Alexis Tarnagada Kirga and I hold a Masters in Environmental Studies. I am the third in a family of six children and we live in Ouagadougou, but part of my family lives in Cote d'Ivoire because many of us were born in that country. I started a business to be financially independent because I was unemployed. I buy ready-to-wear clothes that I resell, and for the moment I am a beginner in this business. In the long term I intend to open a big shop of ready-to-wear clothes. My business allows me to make 50% profit that I invested in the purchase of other outfits.

I sell ready-to-wear clothes: jeans, pants, t-shirts, skirts, and women's pants among others. Nowadays young people want to follow fashion, and since youth represent more than 60% of the population of my country they are a potential market. Customers prefer my services due to the welcome the customer receives, the product quality, and the competitive prices that I charge. Trade is profitable because I can make a profit of at least 50%, which allows me to face the charges. The risks that I can confront in this business are unsold stock, but at my level I take care to make good choices and I often look for others' opinions on my choices. The monthly cost is variable as are the revenues per season. When I buy 75,000 CFA francs' worth of products, at the end of the month I often find myself with 40,000 to 60,000 CFA francs' profit.

Hi all, this new loan __Pour if grant used to purchase tank tops, T-shirts and shorts for men. I intend to take in wholesale prices longshoremen at $ 154.84, $ 105.93 for shorts and t-shirt $ 228.17. I expect profits of around 60% for the amount I invested, which will correspond to about $ 294 beneficiary on. This amount will allow me to provide for my family and to help the needy around us. Again I thank you for having changed a little time is the standard of living of the family.
