About Me

I am a graduate of the University of Cape Coast. I offered courses in the Biological Sciences and eventually majored in Aquaculture. I am married with no child yet. I have an aged mother who is dependent on me, and two other siblings whose school fees are my responsibility.

Like most of my peers that I grew up with, I had the interest in overturning the tables of extreme poverty. This I figured is possible if I got educated. The road has not at all been easy, and even though I am clear in my mind about what I wanted to do in the future, there were times when I felt that circumstances were just beyond my control such that I may not be able to achieve my goals afterall. That notwithstanding I am a firm believer in the saying that ‘where there is a will; there always is a way’. At less than 10 years of age, I helped my parents as farm hand in order to be able to get enough money to go to basic school. During my final years of Junior High School, my father got employed by an international NGO. This change in circumstance made things much easier for me to complete basic school. Unfortunately, however, just after completion and during my first year in Senior High School, my dad lost his job. This new negative change made Senior High School extremely difficult for me. I had to work by hawking in order to pay my fees. On weekends, I had to do menial jobs including working on construction sites and assisting market women to sell produce in order to raise money to feed myself and save for school fees. After managing to finish senior high school by this method, things didn't change for the best. When I gained admission to the University of Cape Coast, it was a very sad period for me since raising money to pay for admission was just not feasible. At this time, my dad had lost his life and things had gotten worse than before. I was eventually able to pay my way through school through the benevolence of well wishers. The fees for the subsequent three years were just terrible. The least said about them the better. As for the number of times I had to write exams on empty stomach, only I can tell. However, the spirit of endurance which I developed during infancy whiles working as farm hand helped me to pull through this difficult period in my life. Eventually, here I am with expertise in aquaculture (particularly in shrimp culture).

Loan Proposal

The loan is intended to be used to start purchasing components of an aeration system needed to sustain the growing shrimps/fish.
the actual cost of the components are beyond what this loan amount can buy so I intend to look for additional money elsewhere.
