About Me

Benjamin Pappoe is my name, born in Greater Accra and was raise and train in Accra with my brother Sam and me, i was the elder son. We lost our dad after i completed Junior High School, Honestly speaking it wasn't easy struggling to further my Education to the Senior High School and also help Sam further his own. I had a job as a labour which helped me save more money for my education and also take care of my little brother. Mum left us when we were just littIe. I studied Visual Arts at school because my greatest vision is to be an Artist. I completed school and decided to set up my own small business with my talent through Arts because I couldn't further my education to the University due to Financial crises. Even though I wasnt making enough money through it but I still never gave up hope cos I have always believed in myself. It came to a time that i needed more money to buy more materials to enable me sketch more works for customers. I needed a loan badly but i couldn't find none since all the banks needed so many paper works and etc. As a matter of fact I lost all hope totally until one day I decided to visit the internet when i came across Zidisha , I read a lot about peoples projects and how it has really helped to Change lives and the kind of impact,smiles and transformation entrepreneurs are enjoying, i was so amazed and couldn't believe it. So I decided to give it a try by registering and upgrading to the premium after payment confirmation i took my first loan and payed on time, I really enjoyed it a lot because deep within my heart I knew Zidisha Will make my dreams Come true. This has been my greatest story so far and am glad I meet Zidisha. Long Live Zidisha Forever

My Business

I am into Arts, paintings and crafting of beautiful images, I most at times sketch beautiful landscapes, nature and anything a customer wants. Normally one painting cost $
20 to $40 depending on the kind of work a customer brings. Most at times i make about $60 to $100 a week. I believe with the help of Zidisha I will be able to make the world recognized my gift and will be willing to teach and make a difference through the power of Art.
