About Me
I was born in Barama, in the Laye region on Route 2, 15 km from Ouagadougou. I am marries, and the father of 3 children. Today, I am a mechanic and I have worked in the area for 20 years. My family was not too poor to send their children to school, but my destiny instead lead me to become a mechanic. My family supports me a lot and encourages me to keep moving forward; they are typical of families found everywhere in Africa.
My Business
After a few years of study, I was not able to find any work when arriving in Ouagadougo other than becoming an apprentice to a mechanic where I learned much. I currently have 6 permanent employees who work in my garage. Today, I am proud to work on small engines in all areas of mechanics. I sell parts for different types of machines in our markets, and do repairs and troubleshooting on motors. I also have two apprentices that I am teaching, ages 22 and 26, who come from the countryside in search of work, which was hard for them to do. Today, they are doing well and are looking to integrate into my garage at the end of their apprenticeships- all they have to do is ask.
Loan Proposal
I need it to pay more machine parts for my garage, and this first loan will be used particularly to pay part with lower value. Also, it help me to make big my place in adding another shed where beginners could make there first courses; It will be step by step to increase my business. But I could pay immediately this loan and need more to win my goal. thanks a lot for this first phase.
