About Me

My name is Abigail Gyamfi, from the central region of Ghana, and I am a dedicated and determined young lady.

I completed senior high school, which wasn't easy financially but I was determined to be educated and, by the grace of God, I have achieved part of the educational goals that I have wanted to achieve. I also have been able to study to become a pharmacy-counter assistant.

After I completed high school, employment was a major challenge for me.
I had to write many job-application letters, and go to many interviews,
but all to no avail.

So, I challenged myself to create a job for myself. I looked around my community and realized that people depend on imported items very much, because there aren't enough industries here to meet their needs. I, therefore, took it upon myself to learn how to do mini-importation.

My Business

I have a mini-importation business. I have customers who are ready to buy anytime my products are in. Mini-importation is really a profitable business.I have a couple of items which a customer has ordered from me and this loan is going to help me a lot in importing them. I will be making a good profit and will invest the profit into the business. I also want to have my own provision store, so while doing my research and online things, I would be selling there, too, which would help me improve my finances a lot.

Loan Proposal

Hello, lenders.

I am a mini-importer, and I would use this loan to import products for my clients.

A client has ordered a tablet from me, which would cost $120. She also wants two
men's watches, which would cost $50 each, and two ladies' watches, costing $60 each.
I am looking forward to earning more than 50% profit on these items.

I would invest the profit into this business; and I would save some
for a provisions-store business, too.
