About Me
My name is Kone Tene, I am a 24-year-old woman who was raised in a polygamous family. My father has 2 wives and my mother was his first. I am the third daughter of my mother and the fourth children of the family as I have two older sisters. I went to school but couldn't get more education due to financial scarcity. Therefore, I decided to launch a shoe business to provide for myself.
My Business
Selling shoes is an activity carried by many young women in Bobo Dioulasso because it is not easy to find a job there. I sell different shoes such as slippers (babouche), flip flops and kaboules. I often sell my goods on credit to female civil servants: they pay a certain amount at the time of purchase and the remaining at the end of the month. My profit can exceed 50000F per month which allows me to buy food, clothes and medicine when I get sick.
Loan Proposal
This first loan will be entirely invested in the purchasing of slippers that I will stock to later resell to my customers who are mainly young women from the city of Bobo. I will therefore be able to reimburse my loan with the interests and in addition have a surplus.
About Me
Jeune fille de vingt quatre années (24) je suis Kone Tene née d'une famille polygamme et le père avait deux femmes dont ma maman est la première de ces femmes. Je suis la troisième fille de ma maman et le quatième enfant de la famille car j'ai deux grande soeurs. J'ai eu à étudier c'est à dire faire l'école mais mes études n'ont pas été beaucoup poussées par faute de finance. Je me suis donc lancé dans la vente de chaussure pour avoir des revenus et subvenir à mes dépenses.
My Business
La vente des chaussures est une activité qui nourrit beaucoup de jeune fille dans la ville de Bobo Dioulasso car gagner un métier à exercer n'est pas une chose facile. Je vends les différentes chaussures telles les babouches, les tapettes, les Kaboules et bien d'autres diverses chaussures. Je donne souvent mes marchandises à credit à des femmes fonctionnaires qui me donnent une avance et à la fin du mois elles paient le reste de mon argent. Dans un mois je peux avoir plus de 50000F comme un bénéfice ce qui me permet de me nourrir, de m'habiller et de me soigner quand je tombe malade.
Loan Proposal
Ce premier prêt sera entièrement investi dans l'achat des babouches pour stocker et revendre avec mes clientes qui sont la plupart des jeunes filles de cette ville de Bobo. Je pourrai alors avec les intérêts repayer mon prêt et avoir en plus un surplus.
