Meet Zidisha borrower Djibril Pouye. Dijibril is from Dakar, Senegal, and is in the electronics business. He sells everything from mobile telephones to laptops (even iPads!). However, because his stock is costly, he needed some additional capital to purchase stock. That is when the Zidisha lenders gave Djibril a loan that helped him reach his goals!
Our very own Madeline met with Djibril in Dakar this past week. Check out her impression of Djibril and his shop in her own words below:
Hi Lenders,
I was able to visit Djibril (Djiby) last week at his electronics business. He and his brother own a small shop located in a bustling indoor electronics market. They sell cell phones, but also secondhand laptops, iPads, and other specialty electronics. With many other vendors surrounding them, Djiby’s business differentiates itself from competition by selling higher-end electronics. Currently, Djiby says the iPhone is their best seller.
They are currently paying back their first loan and are eager to finish the payments quickly in order to take out a second, bigger loan to support their growing business.
What's the address of the shop?
