About Me

Housewife, woman of the home, I am Minata Traore. Born in Bobo Dioulasso in the province of Houet, I am over 42 years old. I went to school and I have an undergraduate degree. After many job searches in 1997, I had the chance to believe in myself and put in place my little business of sorrel leaves. Thanks to this business, I am able to help my husband in various family needs.

My Business

Sorrel, also known as Folere is a very popular vegetable here. Not only does it contain therapeutic virtues it is also rich in vitamin C; in provitamin A; in potassium, magnesium and iron. It was also noted that virtues of sorrel leaves are used to reduce blood pressure, to regulate indigestion problems and loss of appetite. Apart from all these qualities sorrel leaves enter directly into the consumption and transformation of juice (bissaps). I would like to have support to better commercialise this vegetable, to do so I please ask you to accept my loan request for a first amount of 100 US dollars.

Loan Proposal

Thank you for this honorable lenders confidence you had kindly granted me while helping me with a loan. The previous allowed me to pay a larger amount of sorrel I regularly sold well while making me a profit. This new amount of 361,119 francs which I beg you will always be well used and strictly to buy my goods and still sell. Thanks to this new amount, I plan paid a motorbike for my daughter who is currently in first class. Thanks a lot to you.

About Me

Ménagère, femme au foyer, je suis Minata Traore. Née à Bobo Dioulasso dans la province du Houet, j'ai plus de 42 ans. J'ai été à l’école et je possède un Brevet d’étude de Premier cycle. Après plusieurs tentatives à la recherche de l'emploi en 1997, j'ai eu la chance de croire en moi même et de mettre en place mon petit commerce de vente d’oseilles. Grâce à cette activité, j’arrive à assister mon mari dans les différents besoins familiaux.

My Business

L’oseille encore connue sous l’appellation Foléré est un légume bien prisé chez nous. Non seulement il contient des Vertus thérapeutique et est riche en vitamine C ; en provitamine A ; en potassium, magnésium et en fer. Il a été aussi noté que les vertus du Foléré sont utilisées pour réduire la tension artérielle, pour régler les problèmes d'indigestion et de perte d'appétit. Hors mis toutes ces qualités les feuilles d’oseilles entre directement dans la consommation et la transformation en jus (bissaps). Je voudrais avoir un soutien pour mieux commercialiser cette légume, pour ce fait je vous prie de bien vouloir accepter ma demande de prêt pour un premier montant de 100 dollars USD.

Loan Proposal

Merci honorables prêteurs pour cette confiance dont vous aviez bien voulu m'accordé tout en m'aidant avec un prêt. Le précédent m'a permis de payé une plus grande quantité d'oseilles que j'ai régulièrement bien vendu tout en me faisant des bénéfices. Ce nouveau montant de 361119 francs dont je vous sollicite sera toujours bien utilisé et strictement pour acheter ma marchandises et toujours vendre. Grace a ce nouveau montant, je prévois payé une moto pour ma fille qui est en ce moment en classe de première . Merci bien a vous.

    Hi Minata! I just wanted to wish you all the best in getting your loan funded. It sounds like sorrel leaves are an important vegetable. I wish we had them here in the U.S. so I could try them. Take good care of yourself and again, good luck with your loan!
