About Me

Warm greetings every one!My name is Peter Kofi Mensah a citizen of Ghana and a native from sogakope. A family of 9 and I am the last Born. I come from a village where majority of the people are into beads wearing both for cultural and for traditional practice. My father died after I was born and am the last son of the great hunter of sogakope village. My father had no form of education but always made sure he helped us to take our studies serious because he claims they were not fortunate to have any form of education.' In fact may his soul rest in perfect peace'. I am an average student back in school although, but always have the urge or let me say strong likening for business. So due to that I have decided to combine business and schooling together so that I can fend for a living. I have humbly remain like this up and doing always making business and also creating some connections everywhere for the sale of my little crafted beads.

My Business

I have being doing all this for the pass 2 years now crafting of beads at my own spare moments and selling them. It is what I sometimes use in buying study handouts and also paying for my school fees. Crafted beads have good market especially when the forefingers comes into Ghana for a tourist visit and also for our traditional puberty rites. As this activities always comes I sometimes make a turnover of about GHS 680 which is equivalent to 170 USD . I will make decorated beads for foreign attraction is always the problem. I wish to state that I have the desire of making nice and attractive beads but lacks the capital injections into this grave idea. I however plead on the good lenders here home to help young Peter kofi to catch and retained the market so that I can keep my school going. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I wish to state that I will use part of this loan to buy nice materials for the making of these beads and also add value to the traditional ones also. I believe after a successful completion of the repayment of this loan i will go the extra mile in making many of my dreams come a reality couple with my education. Thank you.
