My name is Fatoumata Bineta Diagne, I live in the Dieuppeul 3 quarter with my three children and my husband. I started sewing to help my husband because the work here is not very good. I want to also help my children to go to school and satisfy their needs. For example, they can become sick – I must work to have something because my husband isn't able to find work on a regular basis.
I’ve been a seamstress/dressmaker for eight years. I have twenty clients but can only produce enough to satisfy the demand of ten of them. I would appreciate financing so I can scale up my production to serve the other ten customers.
With the loan, I would like to buy more fabric to satisfy the orders of my wait-listed clients. Also the thread, embroidery supplies and wages for the tailor who works with me. I even have orders coming in from other companies/retailers. I would like to satisfy these orders and operate with efficiency. If I had the money, I would be able to take more orders, but at the moment I cannot because I lack the means.

Je m'appelle Fatoumata Bineta Diagne, j'habite a Dieuppeul 3 avec mes deux enfants et mon mari.
J'ai commence la couture pour aider mon mari parce que le travail ici n'est pas tellement bon. Je veux aussi aider mes enfants pour aller a l'ecole et satisfaire leurs besoins. Par exemple, ils peuvent tomber malade - il faut que je travaille pour avoir quelquechose parce que le travail de mon mari n'est pas reguliere.

Avec l\'emprunt, je voudrais acheter de la tissue pour donner les autres clients leurs commandes. Aussi les fils, des broiders et aussi pour payer le tailleur qui travaille avec moi. Meme j\'ai aussi les commandes d\'autres societes. Je voudrais aussi comment soit plus vite et efficace. Si j\'ai d\'argent, je pourrais prendre plus de commandes mais en ce moment je ne peux pas parce que je n\'ai pas les moyennes.
