About Me

Moussa Sanou was born in 1953 in Bobo-Dioulasso as the son of a farmer and traditional doctor. He has been initiated from an early age in the use of trees. Although his father was attached in the first place to the values of nature he accepted to send his son to school. Moussa Sanou has thus studied until the 5th class of secondary school. Following the death of his father, he was obliged to quit school at once but he continued to discover the forest, together with his uncle. He was very ambitious to earn a living and he tried several jobs. That is why he passed through the GENICA to work as a lab assistant at the institute for veterinary science and why he worked at the Red Cross from 1979 till 1999.

The urge to care for patients with the help of plants will lead him to an old man with an exceptional knowledge about therapeutic herbs. When he left the old man he had improved his knowledge a lot, which allowed him to become independent in this domain. He hasn't taken a lot of time to proof his knowledge: he treated a lady from Benin which payed him the trust of her husband who has been teaching him a lot more secrets about herbs.
From one success to another he gained his excellent reputation also outside of Bobo-Dioulasso and even over the national borders. He became part of the group of the best traditional healers and he followed several trainings to still improve his medical forces.

These proofs will quickly convince the actors in the region and he is elected the president of the association of traditional healers in Houet (ATTPH) "La sagesse" (The wisdom) in 2002.
His motivation and his wisdom have allowed him to choose a new direction for this sector in the Houet-region. A small forest has been created in Léguema, with the support of Mr. Olivier Marc and the Ministry of Environment. The participation of the association in several exhibitions and fairs has been awarded several Prices and Certificates. Moussa Sanou is a very popular traditional healer and he works with the help of three youngsters to assure his succession.

In orde to assure that his wisdom will serve humanity in the future, Moussa Sanou would like to build a laboratory and write a book with all the recipes for therapeutic herbs. The president of the ATTPH does his best to provide irrigation in the forest to create better conditions for certain plants which will treat other illnesses. We can say that Moussa Sanou is a specialist in: pediatrics, cure of haemorrhoids, malaria, sexual weakness, diabetes and several others.

My Business

The enterprise I have created is located in the neighborhood called Djaradougou, next to the Centre Muraz and not far from the big mosque. We provide traditional health cures. Our aim is to promote health for everyone through the use of therapeutic herbs, to cure certain serious illnesses that haven't found a solution yet in conventional medicine, to help those patients who don't have the means to pay for care by modern medicine.
My health center receives around fifty patients every day. The influx of people asking for our services is due to our competences, the quality and the low cost of the care provided. The social character of our services for the population allows us to create a difference.
It is my ambition to enlarge the enterprise through the creation of several production and selling units for traditional medicines in each neighborhood of the city and each capital of the province. In this way I hope to secure our achievements and to stay ahead of my competitors in the sector.
In general we have a monthly income of 1 million 2 hundred thousand (1200000) Francs CFA representing the turnover of the business.

Loan Proposal

With this loan I want to acquire to facilitate the transport of my herbs from the grove that is in the forest to the place of processing; transport maneuvers and manure to enrich the plant production land. This will bring results on the speed and availability of products in stores. Transporter also the products exposed for fairs and others.

Moussa SANOU a ainsi étudié Jusqu’en classe de 5ème au secondaire.
Suite au décès de son papa, il était contraint de mettre fin à son école du blanc. Cependant, il continue de se faire un chemin dans la forêt, auprès de son oncle. Très ambitieux Pour gagner sa vie, il va tenter plusieurs fonctions. C'est ainsi qu'il fut un tour du côté de GENICA, pour être comme pointeur laborantin à l'institut d'élevage de la médecine vétérinaire et en fin moniteur à la croix rouge de 1979 - 1999.

L'envie de soigner les gens par les plantes va le conduire à un vieux ayant une bonne connaissance des plantes médicinales après avoir quitté ce vieux, il a pu approfondir sa Connaissance. Toute chose qui lui permet de voler de ses propres ailes dans ce domaine. Il ne tardera pas à faire ses preuves après avoir soigné une béninoise une réussite qui lui valu la confiance de l'épouse de la béninoise qui lui confie maintes secrets des pantes.

De succès en succès, la renommée du tradipraticien va aller au-delà de Bobo-Dioulasso, voire hors des frontières nationales. Il va Intégrer le clan des meilleurs des
tradithérapeutes. Des formations diverses ont renforcé son pouvoir Médical.


Ses preuves vont vite convaincre les acteurs du Rouet. Il devient ainsi, le Président de l'association des tradithérapeutes du Houet (ATTPH) “La Sagesse“ en 2002.
Son engagement et sa sagesse lui ont permis de donner une nouvelle orientation à ce secteur dans le Houet. Un bosquet a pu être mis en place à Léguema, avec l'appui de Olivier Marc et le Ministère de l'environnement. Les participations de l'association aux foires régionales ont été couronnées par des Pris et des attestations. Très sollicité pour ses soins, Moussa SANOU travaille en compagnie de trois jeunes pour assurer la relève.


Afin de pérenniser son savoir au profit de l'humanité,
Moussa SANOU envisage la construction d'un laboratoire, l'écriture d'ouvrage sur les recettes médicinales des plantes. Le président de l'ATTPH est entrain de se battre comme il peut, pour avoir forage dans le bosquet pour mieux s'en charger car il y' a plusieurs espèces d'arbres qui lui permettent de traiter les maux. Il faut dire Que Moussa SANOU est spécialiste en : Pédiatrie, Soin des hémorroïdes, Le Paludisme, Les faiblesses sexuelles, Les diabètes et bien d'autres....

My Business

En effet, l’entreprise que j’ai créée est localisée au quartier djaradougou à coté du centre muraz non loin de la grande mosquée. On y dispense des soins traditionnels de santé. Notre objectif c’est de promouvoir la santé pour tous par les plantes médicinales ; de combattre certaines pathologies graves qui n’ont pas eu de solution en médecine conventionnelle ; d’aider certains patients qui n’ont pas assez de moyen pour se soigner à la médecine moderne. Mon entreprise reçoit par jour en moyenne cinquante (50) patients. L’affluence des patients dans nos services est due à la compétence, à la qualité et au coût bas des soins dispensés. Ce caractère social qu’offrent nos prestations à la population nous permet de créer la différence. J’ai pour ambition d’agrandir l’entreprise en créant des points de production et de vente des médicaments traditionnels dans chaque quartier de la ville voir chaque chef lieu de province. Afin de sauvegarder certains acquits et de surpasser les autres concurrents du secteur. En moyenne, nous avons comme revenu mensuel, la somme de Un Million deux cent mille (1 200 000) Francs CFA représentant le chiffre d’affaire de la société.

Loan Proposal

Avec Ce prêt je veux acquérir pour faciliter le transport de mes plantes médicinales depuis le bosquet qui se trouve dans la forêt jusqu'au lieu de transformation ; transporter les manœuvres et le fumier pour l’enrichissement des terres de production de plantes. Cela apportera des résultats sur la rapidité et la disponibilité des produits dans les points de vente. Transporter aussi les produits à exposés pour les foires et autres.

    I really like your enterprise and life-work of using natural local products for medicine. I wish more people in my country did that too. Unfortunately, too many of us Western-style people know too little about the natural world around us.

    For example, just yesterday my family tried using banana peel as a remedy for mosquito bites, and it has worked quite effectively overnight. My mother is trying it to remove a wart. This test should take 10~14 days.
