Life was not easy for me, by God grace i got admission to study in training college, there i was receiving small allowances which i used it to pay my school fees.

And if some will enter into my business thank God. The hobby i like best is watching football and listening to Gospel music.
My Business
The goods and services I provide is clothing which is popularly known in Ghana is African Wear. My goods are made in Ghana and it is gradually gaining grounds in the outside Ghana. These African wear is beautiful and quality. It is affordable to buy it. I used different types of colours to design it. My people wear it for naming ceremony, outdooring ceremony, wedding ceremony, funeral ceremony and party. The goodsis in highdemand because of it qualityaffordable and itnumeroususes. I have different types of colours e.g. white, yellow, blue, violet, black etc. I mean all types of colours youwant you will get it from my small shop. I chose thisbusiness because in my locality people travel to different town to buy the African wear for their ceremonies. Nobody was selling quality African wear in my locality. And you will see most of the people wearing that African wear during ceremonies. SoIdecided tobring that businesstothedoorsteps for them to buyitfromme.
