About Me

Stephen Yeboah is my name, I live in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. My house number is SNT/245 and can be located at Sunyani New Town near Post Office. I have six siblings and happen to be the second born of my parents. I had my secondary school at Sunyani Secondary School in short (SUSEC). I then further at Berekum College of Education. I teach at R/C Junior High School at Sunyani Municipality. I am proprietor at CHILDREN ARE TOMORROW FUTURE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX (CATFEC). My hobbies are; playing with children, writing and listening cool song.

My Business

CHILDREN ARE TOMORROW FUTURE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX (CATFEC) is established at Nkosookrom in the Sunyani Municipality by me. Today’s children are tomorrow’s future, they hold the future in their little hands, what we give to them today is our tomorrow and a little seed becomes a tree of flower. A week before resume from the Christmas holidays to the school to teach, I went to one of the village called Nkosookrom in the Sunyani Municipality to visit my stepmother. And I found that, the children of that village need educational foundation for their future, because there was no any single school by then, they even haven’t had a dream to get school at their village. So it kicked my heart and made up my mind to establish a new school for the children, and as we all known, education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. Therefore, I did not have any right to do anything by myself, so I went to the following elders at the village, Nana Afrifa Agyei, Nana Rose Adu, Nana Kwadwo Ntim and Mad. Joyce Kaakyire to discuss about the school and how it may be established, and they were so glad. Many thanks to the above mentioned names for a free land they gave to me to established this school. Now the school is successfully established CHILDREN ARE TOMORROW FUTURE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX (CATFEC) by the name. I am currently managing from Kindergarten one (1) to Class five (5). Some villages nearby parents are bringing their wards to this noble school to build their foundation. Now I have employed five (5) teachers. Respectfully, I called all the parents to informed them about the fees and they agreed with me to pay it accordingly. As I am speaking now, the school is well managing, improving and precisely as well.

Loan Proposal

Since this school established till now, it is well known across Nkosookrom village. So I am pleading to Zidisha and dear Lenders to support me to buy school bus, it will enable the children to come to earlier, I will also need your help to build new block rooms, school chairs and any other school materials. And I hope this will make them feel comfortable in this noble school. Because, I asked myself that, it’s not easy to establish a school, so where I am going to get a fund to support a little I have for this school and someone introduce Zidisha for me. So I have a strong believe that, Zidisha and dear Lenders will give their highly support and help these children of CHILDREN ARE TOMORROW FUTURE EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX. I will not hesitate to repay any loan Zidisha will disburse to me and abide by the rules and regulation governing Zidisha. Thank you

    Dear Cherished Zidisha and Lenders,

    First of all, I apologize to you for what I did in the past 1 month that I was unable to do any payment and also to post any update to explain why all these happened but due to what I experienced. Please, I am very sorry for that and will never be repeated, anymore. The reasons was that, a little bit “misunderstanding” developed between the elders and the family who gave me the “LAND” to put my school on. Part of the family was claiming that, though my vision for the school in their village is very great and marvelous and they do appreciate it so much. And they are very excited that their village of Nkosookrom also is becoming well known village due to the school. But their main point was that, “truly they didn’t sell the “LAND” to me but free, so I should pay some money in order for the “LAND” to be mine forever. And they were also suspected that, one of the elders (Nana Afrifa Agyei) who is among of the elders provided me the school “LAND” really sold it to me in a huge amount of money. So due to that, they quickly called me from Sunyani and suspended the ongoing project and dragged this issue for a month. So when I was informed how to explain how I received the “LAND” whether sold or free. In fact, I Stephen Yeboah didn’t pay any money to him (Nana Afrifa Agyei) but I only gave him a little amount of money as a gift to show how much I respected him. About solving this issue, anytime we will meet, they scheduled it to another day but on this Monday 9th January, I humbly answered them that, “nobody was even asking me money for the cherished school “LAND”, and I didn’t bought it from any of the elders but I just gave a little amount of money to Nana Afrifa Agyei as a gift”. So they understood me in peacefully, and fortunately, understanding developed them again and I am now free to continue the project. I finally paid some money to all of them. So I want to tell you without fear of contraction that, the school “LAND” is mine forever. All of them assured me that, they are fully ready to help me anytime I may need their help. I also thanked them for what they have done for me, because if they said I should buy it, definitely, the price will be very expensive. Please, I will do everything possible to clear off this loan within 2 months. Thank you so much for your patience and I will never be cheated on you. God Bless You!

    Dear Lenders,

    Please, I want to share with you my school project again. The project is precisely improving by the loan given to me. It has helped me so much and I am proud of it. I will see whether to continue and build it in three story building, if that will be possible then I will only flow the first and second flour. So in the years future, I will continue the third flour too. I am now deciding on that. See the below photos of the progress. May you all be bless and bless upon bless. God bless you.

    Dear Lenders,

    I know by the grace of God all of you are doing so well. You are so marvellous to me and that can not be told and thanking of you in 1 day. I want to inform you that, I bought another iron rolls to bind it to the first floor rolls. Please, as what I promised to do, I will do my best to fulfil it, that one of them is to pay this loan early back to you. I know Zidisha is great and perfect but you Lenders are also making it to be strong and unique. My mom always advice me not to cheat and dissapoint so that everything will be easier on my path through God the Almighty. May God richly bless a work of your hands and protect your children and the family. Thank you.

    Dear Lenders,

    Since I started my project till now, there are a lot of changes and improvement arising. So I want to thank you for all what you have done for me. Because I was nobody and you are making me a somebody. Anyone who will see the project get shock, due to it largest. The project is very large but I think it's not big issue to God and you. I believe that, due to your kindness and generosity, that's why you are continuing be bless. Please, when I am diverting alert and control me to the right path. If not Zidisha, nothing could have come into my mind to start this big project. I am sure by now it's the wooden structure that's still being managing. May God richly bless you all. Thank you.

    Dear Lenders

    First of all, I want to thank each of you for the loan you always given to me. You haven’t disappointed me before and I hope you will not, anytime I raise a new loan, you feel so happy, comfortable and pleasure to contributes to me. Please, the contractor told me that, they want to lay all the pillars including the second floor pillars, and after that, they will fix the blocks and divide all the classroom. But the demanding iron rolls for the second floor is not so easy at all, when we made the calculation for only the iron rolls, the price is very huge amount of money. So please, allow me to reschedule my loan again, and I will do my best to fulfill my promise, that, this loan will completely pay off within six months. May compassionate God bless you all and our Director (Julia Kurnia) of this noble organization. Thank you for your understanding.

    Dear Zidisha and Lenders,

    I again want to inform you the improvement of my school (CATFEC). Please, we have removed the boxes from the first and strong ironrolls after the concrete dried. The cement and the chippings (concrete) for the pillars were so great enough, we filled with a much of cement, because, it’s those pillars which are going to be hold or carry this story building to the future. I hope my noble school (CATFEC) will be the best and precisely through Zidisha and you. It’s your money, prayer and motivational messages that are giving me a hope and the interest to complete this project. Please, I will again give you a further update of this project.

    Please, I went to the director of Ghana Education Service (GES), to help and cancel some few unexpected deductions from my Payroll. The director also spent his time and sent everything to the Controller and Accountant General Department for them to cancel it for me. And when we finished, the director asked me the improvement of my school project, and I also answered and told him everything that are going on there. He then told me that, one day he will definitely go and have a look at my school project. In fact, when I heard this from director, I was very happy. Because, it’s not so easy for him or GES’s directors to go and check whatever you are doing due to workload. So I gave him a very hard handshake. When we go, he will surely tell me what will help to improve every education, and he will also give me a strong advice, because, he knows much about education and every government and private schools are under him. He finally said, “Stephen, as you are a very respectful guy, I will help you with my knowledge”. Thank you and may God bless a work of your hands.
