About Me

My name is racheal ayeh, i come from takoradi in the western region, my parents are still living there but i live in greater accra in a rented room with a school mate. I am still studying in school and a member of the business womens association in takoradi. I have 2 siblings who are with my parents. Because of lack of money i do part time courses in school. i plan to gradually see myself through my course for a better future. I love business and that’s why i am doing my fruit juice and smoothies business. i am the second child of my parents, i plan to take god care of my parents and smaller sister when i get more money. I want to have a decent future for myself and my family thats why i do what i do.

My Business

I started a fruit juice and smoothie business since two years ago. It has been very good by God’s Grace. Ghanaians are very conscious about their health these days so instead of drinking sugar filled carbonated drinks they prefer natural fruit juice or smoothie. I buy various fruits from the market on Tuesdays, the market days here. I buy plastic bottles too from the plastic shop. I neatly wash all the fruits with vinegar to take out all dirt then i thoroughly wash my hands and peel them. I then blend all the fruits into puree and keep in the fridge. I also blend some ginger, moringa, squeeze some oranges and lemon too. To keep them fresh, i do enough for a day. I them mix them as requested by my clients. I have a special blend of mango, orange, tangerine and star fruit and my customers really like it. I supply to two shops around and take the rest from door to door. Its fresh and cold. I sell at least 30 bottles a day at 1gh each. Within a week i get at least 150gh. From this i buy fruits and bottles for the next week at 80gh and save the rest for myself. I want to buy a bigger fridge to store more fruit and also a bigger blender. I plan to rent a store in town, where i can make and sell the juice.

Loan Proposal

If i am granted this loan, i will start by buying more fruit to increase my production and also profit. I will also buy more plastic bottles and keep because the price keeps going up. When i save enough, i will buy a fridge and a big blender. With time i can rent a store in town and get better bottles with a label to make it more attractive. With the help of God and zidisha i will gradually build this business into a great venture. I am grateful for this opportunity
