About Me

I graduated from the KNUST where i studied computer science. After completing school in 214, i started searching for a job to earn a living for almost two years without any success. Being the only graduate in my community and the only highly educated person in my family, i had a lot of pressure coming from family and the community to to quickly get a well paid job so i could take care of them and also contribute my quota to the general development of my community. After a long search without finding any job i decided to use the knowledge i learned in school to impart others as well as get some income for my upkeep by establishing an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) center to train basic school children in my community ICT skills as well as engage in documents printing as well as doing photocopies to make some money. My project has since begun with so many students and interested persons within and around my community registering to be trained as IT professionals, My greatest challenge has being my inability to purchase enough learning materials in the form of computers, printers, photocopy machines among other accessories. My ICT center is currently running with only one desktop computer given to me by our Assembly man and an old laptop computer i used during studies in school. It is my dream to see my center grow to become a first class IT learning center which will go a long way to help equip young people of my community and nearby societies with the technical knowledge and skills in information technology, since the world today is run by IT experts. I also envisage myself becoming financially stable from the services i will be providing and the reward that comes with it. I will be able to purchase enough computers and its accessories with a loan from zidisha to help realized this dream of imparting knowledge to people as well as making some money from it

My Business

My business is about the establishment and management of an an Information Communication Technology (ICT) center, where i will be offering training services in general IT skills, printing and lamination of documents, photocopying as well as internet browsing. I intend to expand my business by acquiring more computers and its accessories as well as upgrading my internet system. My main source of funding is from family members as well as my own small savings. It is now my sincere hope that zidisha will also come on board to assist me achieve my target of expanding my business and establishing it as one of the best communication and Information Technology Training centers in my region. the ICT is very important in my community considering the fact that most students in this area lack the computer and information technology skills and the world now been run by the information technology world, it will be good and rewarding if they are given this skill for them to better position themselves to face the future with confidence. The initial investment in the business is usually very capital intensive but having progressed over the past few months i am now able to manage my business with the little proceeds i get from the services i render to people. Going forward i hope to make more profits so i could help sponsor my sister to the university since she has kept so long at home after completing senior high school. i also intend to employ more people to help me run the business if i am able to expand more.

Loan Proposal

As someone who has just started operation, I am constrained logistically. and I strongly believe that this loan if approved together with the subsequent loans I will be taking, I will as a matter of urgency purchase the following items with their estimated cost in US dollars as follows..
Three desktop computers 156 dollars
One scanner 52 dollars
One printer 78 dollars
These items listed above are my priority items that I will quickly purchase to help expand and facilitate the work I do. wen all these are bought, I am optimistic that my sales will multiply since there are only few people who offer these services n this community with the demand also in the ascendancy. My sales multiplying is a clear indication that my profit margins will go up and I will be in a better position to pay back my loan taken from zidisha on time without default.
