My name is Raphael Anokye. I come from Nsuatre, a farming community in the Brong Ahafo region. My parents are Mr. Gyan Osei and Mrs Gladys Pepprah. I live together with my parents including other three siblings of mine who are currently schooling.
I am a High school graduate at Drobo Senior High school in the year 2007. Though I long dreamt of becoming a nurse but the kind of family I come from and its financial status wouldn’t permit me to though I am brilliant. I come from a Christian home with honour and self respect. Among all my siblings, I love to help them all and seriously Anna Obimper who is physically handicap.
I run a stationary shop in my town. My shop is in the center of the town. I sell all kinds of writing materials which includes, pens, pencils, erasor , painting sticks and books as well. It happened to be one of the biggest shop in the town. Though it is not any thing to compared to the bigger shops in the city. I started this business about two years back when a family friend introduced me into. lnitially, I was facing difficulties as to where I I will sell the books. I was therefore doing mobile services moving from school to school. This went on Until my capital became big enough to rent a store room. I support my siblings expecially Florence who want to become a caterer. I pray that my business will continue to experience big success and thanks to my lenders with a loan from zidisha my business became stable and fast moving. Now I am planning to include the sales of locally produce detergents and bathing soaps. This I know would meet the kindest support from my lenders.
Recently, I under went a three months training workshop on how to make detergents, and basic home made soaps. With this background knowledge, I would like to seek for funds to help me include the sales of locally made soaps and detergents. Adding this to my stationary business will surely help me in my goal of becoming financial independent to support my family and others in my community.
