About Me

I started my basic school at Dromankese S.D.A basic school.
I always consult advance people on my field when i encounter problems or hardship.
during my Senior High School Education i was able to save some money in my bank account.This money is what i am using in doing business.
Considering all towns around Nkoranza,my town owns the largest amount of land.
this is soo unique to me because,i will get enough land for my business when i become successful.
My children want to become Lawyers and Soldiers .
I am now offering Diploma in Basic Education at Jackson College of Education.
I wish to be i great person in future.
I wish i open a lot of business and employ many of the youth.
Creating job for others is my dream.

My Business

Mobile money service is what is what i provide for my people.
My office is always busy us people in my community trust and enjoy my service much.
I choose to offer mobile money business to my people because.They use to travel to Nkoranza before they can get transaction to be done.I was so concern then i join the mobile money business.
The profit earn are use in paying my school fees and that my Son.
Because the capital is not enough,the profit earn is not much.
After paying of school fees all get finish.
i wish i can get enough capital to expend my business.
My service is always needed by my people.
I observe this when i move for lectures.
People will be calling from morning to evening.
The business is about Ghc2000.00
i wish i will be a mentor to the organization if really my loan is approve .
People will trust me much when i receive my loan.
My first loan was used for a printing business.This new business have been so supportive to the Government workers in my community.
All their printing works are taken care of.
They are happy for the help i have given to them by providing such service.

Loan Proposal

Dromankese is a community in the Nkoranza North District in the Brong Ahafo. The community have 5 primary schools, 4 Junior High Schools.The population of students in the community is about 1000 students.
One sad thing about my community Dromankese is that, there is no book shop for students to buy their books from.
Parents have to travelled from Dromankese to Nkoranza before they can get books for their wards. The distance from Dromankese to Nkoranza is 18km.
The situation has made education very difficult in the community.
I discuss this issue in head and the only answer to it was Zidisha.
So I am here again pleading on Zidisha leaders to support me raise a book shop for my community. This will help to improve the education level of the young people.
Some parents can have the money to buy the books but transportion fee to Nkoranza some times becomes the problem.
These are the reason why I want Zidisha lenders to help me solve the problem in my
community.
Thank you.
