About Me

It was not easy because both parents died prematurely and had to rely on distant relatives to fund my education. Thought of the need to open a laboratory in the district I lived to help the pregnant women undergo the needed tests before delivery. And in so doing,help minimize the complications. They want to be self employed by creating their own businesses. Singing and rapping.

My Business

Laboratory service. Useful in the sense that people would not travel long distances to attend laboratory services. I chose this business so as to help the community in minimizing complications associated with pregnant women and also saving the community people the hell of traveling long distances to attend to laboratory services. The profits would be used to reinvest in the business.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy a motorbike so I can travel to determine the haemoglobin levels and sickling statuses of pregnant women who cannot access laboratory service due to far distances and nature of roads in the area.
The motorbike is worth 868 USD.
My funds are going to increase because I will be attending to larger number of clients now. Also this is going to a relief to the pregnant women who cannot access laboratory service due to how far they are to my laboratory.
I expect my profit to increase tremendously to about two(2) folds.

    I have received the amount of GH3,252. I intend buying a motorbike so i can easily reach pregnant women in the deprived areas. I just don't know how to thank my lenders,you are God-given and i pray the Almighty God bless you richly. You are the reason why zidisha still stands.

    I will use this loan to purchase a motorbike which is going to help me reach the pregnant women in deprived areas,so they can undergo the various laboratory tests thereby avoiding any prenatal complications.

    I just don't know how to thank my lenders- all i have to say is may the Almighty God richly bless you. you have really been supportive beyond my imagination.

    I purchased a microscope to enable me determine sickling status of pregnant women. It has been of an immense help because the sickling statuses of pregnant women in the district can now be ascertained with ease.
    My earnings have really increased about two(2) of my capital that I started with. I intend to use the earnings to make laboratory accessible to the villages in a form of mobile laboratory. My younger has successfully completed nursing training and passed.

    The amount I realise this week is more than my earlier week's realisation of GH100.

    The amount I realise this week is more than my weekly payment of GHS 100.

  • Collins    Sep 15, 2017

    This is because the amount I realize every week is far below the GHS340.

    The reason for application is to help me determine the sickling status of pregnant women,children who have always being anaemic by acquiring a new microscope.

    The number of people patronising my lab has increased and as such the funds I realise weekly has also increased,therefore,the need to increase the payment.

    I want to use this opportunity to inform my lenders that i have received the loan(GHS 690) and I thank them once again.

    I will use the money to buy Glucometer and strips, hepatitis 'B' and 'C' strips.
