My Story
My name is Appiah Augustine.I hail from Kotokrom, a suburb of Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana.We are seven in my family, four siblings and my parents.I am 31 years of age.
Due to work, my parents settled at Senase, a village in Berekum so I began my elementary school at Senase R/C Primary School.In fact I was not doing well at school due to ill health so I eventually stopped schooling in Class five.Later on I went to Western region to help my dad on the farm.
Things became very difficult so I worked as a labourer on people's farms where I solicited some money to learn driving.
Today, I am an experienced taxi driver but I do not have my own car.I am married with two kids.The saddest news is that I am the breadwinner pf my family so all their burden rest upon me.
I am interested in driving and watching movies.
My Business
As I have made myself known to you already,I am a taxi driver.I began this job for the past six years.Since affording to buy a car in Ghana is very expensive, I work for somebody.
I make sales to my boss everyday and am forced to work harder everyday save Sundays in order to make my Ghs 60 sales.In deed after this sales I fill the tank with fuel after the daily's work.
I can avow however that I make about 10 percent profit each day.
Loan To Buy A Car Battery For My New Taxi
In the accord of my ten percent income,I have been able to save some capital to buy my own taxi.I have paid half of the amount meanwhile there is a fault in the battery.
To this effect, I wish to plead with the generous lenders of the zidisha team to offer me a loan of $27 to buy a new and genuine battery for my new taxi.
This loan is really going to help me because I am going to employ a driver to work with it while I keep to the previous one.I count on your generosity.Thanks
