About Me
I am Kusi Obodum, a seventh born out of a family of eight(8). I completed Junoir High School at the methodist JHS, Bantama in 2003.I then went to Asanteman Senior High school offer science as course and completed in 2006 .
l waited for one year down the line and before the result came in which l went to Accra to do little business (Shoe Shine ) due to some financial constrains.That's how l got my admission fee to Mampong Technical College of Education, at Mampong.
I am a teacher by profession and had my first station at Abirem D/A JHS at the Kwabre East East District in the Ashanti Region in 2012.
I got married in 2013 and my wife was a trader by then. Thing were very smooth till we had our first son(Wilford) in 2014 ,her business collapsed hence leaving me alone to cater for her, my son and myself . Teaching alone was not enough and therefore began to fine the alternative way to sustain us.
I started HERBALIFE, a nutritional company in American that deal with weight management. I get the products, sell them and earn bonuses. This business also has run down and l am into TRANSPORTATION as part - time business along side teaching.
The culture of our land is such away that it's based on the extended family system where parents and grandparents are part and as they grow it become the responsibility for the youth to cater for them as well as our children. Hence people depend largely on us we the youth.
My three year old boy, Wilford is now in creative Learning Academy and would like him to be a renowned business man with many employees
I like playing games, sports(soccer) (⚽) and watching movies.
Thanks!
My Business
I am now into TRANSPORTATION business as part time and along side teaching.
This TRANSPORTATION business has been of help to the community a lot. l carry people from place to place to have their own businesses done. People chatter the vehicle which aid them to alight at a specific places of work and this is helping the community a lot.
I selected this kind of business to support my teaching job because l earn little from teaching and my salary alone has not been sufficient for the family.
I got my income from teaching and the TRANSPORTATION business as well.
I help in carrying people to and flow in their work places.
Thanks!
Loan Proposal
I will thank lenders of what they have been doing for me. God richly bless them. My vehicle still have a mechanical fault which needs to be resolved onces and for all. The tyre,the dash board and as the body has become old and l will need about $594.45 to solve this issue for the vehicle to work better for me.l am even planing to get new one but due to insufficient capital l have to manage this one till next year.
This will help increase my income for myself, the family and the community as a whole and some will also go to the charity fun.
I will be expecting a percentage increase of about 70.
Thanks.
