About Me
Serwaa Monica is my name and I am from Tepa in the Asunaafo north district of Ghana. I am a young independent seamstress. I am senior high school graduate from Tepa Senior High school (SHS). I am a Christian and fellowship with Presbyterian church,Tepa Central branch. I am the only child of my family. I was quite brilliant in class but unfortunately for me, my mother doesn't work and my father passed away some 14 years ago. I live on my own and have work as shop keep to a neighbor for about 3 years after my High school education to save some money for my future.
Since I wasn't having money to proceed to study professional fashion in university, I learn it from my boss lady as an apprentice. I study this sewing job for 3 years and finally graduated.
My Business
I graduated from my apprenticeship in December 2014. But since rising of capital to start my own business was little problem for me because of my poor financial background, I started working in front of my house under a canopy till about 3 months ago that i was able to rent a store room from the savings I have made ever since I graduated from the apprenticeship. I have a lot I need to buy for my new shop, but I don't have enough money for that. I however approached a friend and she introduced me to zidisha.
I would be very grateful if you can assist me like you have done to many people in order to help my business grow. Thank you very much for rising funds for people like us. God bless all the lenders....
Loan Proposal
I am really appreciated for the first loan you granted me and of course it has really helped me a lot. I have made a little savings and I want to apply for this loan to top up my savings to pay for this used electric sewing machine. The hand peddle sewing machine that I use currently isn't fast enough in making cloths. That is why I want o by this electric sewing machine
