About Me

I went to school until the 3rd level class and after I obtained my “BFEM”,I took a class in sewing at the socio-cultural center of The Parcelles Assainies for 5 years. I got a diploma in sewing. I am part of a huge family. My father has two wives and my mother is the first wife. We are a family with 3 boys and 3 girls for my mother. We live in Dakar in the family home. Actually I work in a sewing and tailoring shop and I would like to start my own business

My Business

The studio that I would like to open will design and taylor traditional suits for woman and men. I need a sewing machine that cost 75000FCFA, 150000 FCFA for a cutting table, little fabrics and sewing accessories for about 100000FCFA and for my tailoring fabric, 750000FCFA. For the studio’s rent and the electricity bill for 3 months 150000FCFA. I will produce 3 suits per day at 15000 FCFA per unit.

Loan Proposal

I will buy 2 sewing machines with the Zidisha loan. I will also buy several accessories and another machine for 125000 FCFA . I would also buy a simple machine for 50000 FCFA and Fabrics for 75000FCFA. I do stylish suits that I am selling to my customers. Each month I will produce 20 units @ 15000 FCFA which will give me a net profit of 300000 FCFA. With the studio expenses I will still have 100000 FCFA which is enough to reimburse my Zidisha loan and having some income

    After restarting my work, I need some time to recouperate my buisness - to gather my clients again and start to produce. Because of this I ask for a continued delay before repayment. I had fallen ill and was in the hospital, which interrupted my work. I know that you will understand why I am late with my repayments.

    Good evening Zidish members, Lenders, Borrowers and Administrators

    This is just to tell you that Friday, July 14, 2012, the official Client Managers Sam GANT and Maguette spent a wonderful afternoon with the members of MICROSOL for a training session on the process of servicing Zidisha loans and the remittance of the checks. I was one of the happy beneficiaries and this is the reason for which I thank you. I hope to make the withdrawal July 18, and I will not delay in letting you know about its use. I also will not delay in placing orders on my first products of clothing financed by ZIDISHA.
    See you later
