About Me

I am Kwame Owusu Sarfo from Akyem Asuom in the Eastern region of Ghana but currently residing in Obuasi in the Ashanti region. Had my basic education at Christ International School and continued to Sunyani Secodary School all in the Brong Ahafo Region.
Growing up from a village one could hardly find affordable and quality healthcare and drugs. As a result preventable and diseases that could easily be treated took away many lives.
With regards to some of these issues from my secondary education, I continued to Kumasi Polytechnic where I read Pharmacy Technology. Now working with Elim Pharmacy as a branch manager.
I am good leader, team builder, hardworking, innovative and God fearing.
Love football and a bit of athletics

My Business

Have been working with a Pharmaceutical company for the past 4yrs now and my work was based in the city all this while. I decided to start up something by buying from my company on wholesale and sell to the rural healthcare providers like chemical shops and clinics. It has not been doing well for sometime now due to inadequate funds to meet the demand. until a friend told me about zidisha, going through this programme i decided to join since it will help me raise some capital to increase my purchase so as to meet the demand for some necessary drugs need in our community for survival. Healthcare is paramout in this areas and hope i will get lenders as early as possible for the survival of the less previlledge in society and i must add their payment are prompt as this will help me pay my loan on time as well
thank you all

Loan Proposal

I apply for this loan in other keep up with the project already started
thanks to zidisha. This has become necessary so as to help me buy medicine from wholesale for distribution to rural healthcare providers.
This is one project I have never regretted pushing through because it has helped to save lives in the deprived communities and they are at an afdordable rate.
I highly recommend and encourage most lenders to come on board so as to keep saving lives and bringing quality and affordable healthcare to these communities

    Hello Kwame,

    Thank you for being a borrower on the first peer-to-peer micro-lending platform, building direct connections between borrowers and lenders across the globe (Zidisha).

    I am happy that you have been assigned to me as your Volunteer Mentor (VM).
    I am very grateful to have the pleasure of being a part of this organization (Zidisha).

    I hope you and your families are enjoying the loan you received from this noble service (Zidisha). It is my belief that your business probably is growing well. You didn’t go for a bank loan, which could have required paying back more in interest than the capital amount. Instead, you chose to receive an affordable loan from Zidisha to help your business grow. And, today, just look at how your business probably is running better than you expected. This is so amazing!

    This platform also is here to help you to expand your business, and to help you not worry much about business collapse. Our dear Lenders extend their generosity and express their desire not just for your business to succeed, but also for you to enjoy your life. Some borrowers and lenders even become real friends on this platform. :)

    I would be very grateful if you would continue to make payments according to your repayment schedule. Lenders on Zidisha contribute to you from the bottom of their heart, and truly want to help you to overcome your challenges. Please, the fund that our Lenders use to lend to you is the same fund that they use to lend other borrowers. So, if you don't repay the loans they extend to you, then they cannot extend future loans to others. This is the way it works.

    One person has reaped a large harvest, but today we all are sharing in it. Who is that person? That person is our beloved founder (Julia Kurnia). May the Lord Almighty bless her (Julia) and give her more knowledge and a long life. May the Lord Almighty also bless all of our Lenders, always.

    Thank you for being a part of and enjoying this noble platform, Zidisha.
