About Me

i am the person of adwoa dorcas who haled from seikwa township and iam the second born to my parents. i started my education in the seikwa township and completed the basic education there. i am single and fair in complexion. i am twenty-five years of age. after completion of basic education i visited my uncle in berekum and i stayed with him for about three years and later he he sent me to learn bread baking and i understood because that was the aim of me going to that town. i learnt job for about three and half years and i became more qualified to start my own but to get money was a problem so my master offered me chance to work with her for a pay. thank God that i have started with my own.

My Business

adwoa dorcas bakery is situated in berekum brennyekwa on the road to seikwa. we deal in baking of bread for retailers and stores and when schools are in possession we supply some to schools too. when schools are opened i earned about 30 ghana cedis a day but when have vacated i earn less than that. this business is most beneficial to me because everyday i get something out from it also people will be having their breakfast each day and they will fall on me for their brakfast. the profits that i receive from it, i use some to pay my light bill and sends some home for my mum and dad who are now on their retiring ages.

Loan Proposal

When the loan is offered to me I will purchase six bags of flour which amounts to $252 and I will also purchase two boxes of Cook band margarine which will also be up to $83. I will use some of my saved income to add up to the loan to purchase the items.
These items will help me in the contract won by a school to increase my production.
The interest that will be obtain I will use some to resettle the loan and use some for a living and the remaining will be use savings.

    There were no payments from August 2017 to May 2018, when I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund. I still hope Adwoa can recover from whatever happened to her business.

    All attempts to get to Dorcas either on phone or at her work place has proven futile. I can't get to her

    I am unable to reach Dorcas on her line. I tried to visit her at her place but didn't meet her or anyone. Will try and visit again after Christmas to see if I can meet her.

    Adwoa has still refused to answer my many calls to her. The call always goes through but unfortunately, she doesn't answer. Still trying hard to reach her.

    I don't know what's really happening with Dorcas, I keep calling her concerning her unpaid installment amounts. She keeps promising all her payments would be made but all to no avail. I asked her to reduce her installment amount so she can make her payments but no, she never agrees to that meanwhile the payments are not made. I'm still trying to investigate more.

    I have contacted Dorcas and she has promised to pay all her installment amount in that has not been paid. She is doing bead business at a place where the mtn network she will use to pay her amounts is not available. But she would be back next week God willing to pay all her amount due.
