About Me

Hello, my name is Astou Diop. I am a young Senegalese woman who did all my studies in Senegal. I live with my mom, dad, my brothers and sisters. I am married and have a two year old daughter. While studying, I also made time to learn how to sew and eventually started my own sewing and tailoring business a couple of years ago.

My Business

I sew clothes and I resell them to my clients. At the same time, I also knit scarves and designs on shoes, and I get a lot of orders. I've been a tailor for 10 years. I work at home, but one day I would like to open my own boutique. I also sell products from Mauritania.
I once received a loan from FDA with a group of people. The loan was 9000000 CFA and was shared by 9 people. We paid 12500 CFA per month. The woman who managed our loan is named Awa and she can be reached at 338558706

Loan Proposal

If I obtain this loan, I will expand my tailoring business by buying more cloths and two sowing machines, this will allow me to expand my client base interested in scarves and shoes. I will also use the loan to travel to Mauritania to buy products and resell them in Senegal.

    Hello lenders,

    Yesterday, I met with Madame Astou Diop who lives in the Cambarene neighborhood close to the beach. She is married and has one daughter. She lives with her father, mother, three brothers and one sister. She and her brothers are the main providers for the family. One brother lives in Spain, one is a doctor and the other works in commerce. They split the expenses of the household.

    Business
    She talked a lot about her tailoring and sewing business. She buys her fabric from Sandaga and makes boobas, scarves and shoes. She sometimes makes other items depending upon the demand. She is very content with her progress and mainly works in her neighborhood selling her products to her friends.Unfortunately, her funds are only enough to repay her loan because she doesn't have much surplus.

    Future
    Once Madame Diop pays off this loan she hopes to take out another one and find a space for a small boutique. She hopes to display her clothing possibly at one of the large markets around Dakar for more exposure.

    Client Relationship Manager
