Mr. Ibrahima Drissa Togola, age 26, is unmarried and has no children. He lives at his father's place (with his brothers and sisters) in Bougouni in the Dialanicoro district (third administrative region of the Republic of Mali). After having run unsuccessfully many revenue-generating businesses in Bamako, he decided to go back to his family in Bougouni to learn the trade of tailoring from his uncle. With six years of experience, he has a good command of his business, where he is in high demand and much appreciated.

After having correctly repaid his first loan (moreover, ahead of schedule), he is on his second individual loan that will be used to buy sewing supplies in Bamako (capital of Mali) from wholesalers. In high demand by the women of Bougouni who compose the bulk of his customers, he plans to realize a monthly profit of 50,000 francs CFA. With this profit, he plans to improve his workshop and to get married. His ambition is to buy a plot of land on which to live and to have his own place.

Monsieur Ibrahima Drissa Togola est un célibataire qui est âgé de 26 ans et n’a pas d’enfant. Il vit chez son père (avec ses autres frères et sœurs) à Bougouni dans le quartier Dialanicoro (troisième région administrative de la république du Mali).
Après avoir mener beaucoup d’activités génératrices de revenus à Bamako sans succès, il décida de retourner en famille à Bougouni pour apprendre le métier de tailleur auprès de son oncle. Avec 6 années d’expérience, il maîtrise bien son activité dans laquelle il est très apprécié et sollicité.
Après avoir correctement remboursé son premier prêt (d’ailleurs par anticipation), il est à son deuxième prêt individuel qui sera utilisé pour acheter de la mercerie à Bamako (capitale du Mali) auprès des grossistes.
Très sollicité par les femmes de Bougouni qui composent la majeur partie de sa clientèle, il compte réaliser un bénéfice mensuel 50 000 FCFA. Avec ce bénéfice il compte améliorer son atelier et se marier.
Il ambitionne acheter un lot à usage d’habitation et le construire pour avoir un chez soi..
