About Me

Mr and Mrs Amoah are my parents. we are all nine in number. I schooled at first star school and continued at Don Bosco vocational school. my enterprise started in 2012 which I am still doing. I hope I'll get this loan and continue helping me. I've gone through a lot of discontent in my life so I'm very frugal in terms of my money. I come from central Ghana where our language is Akan and we have a rich culture when we're marrying and during funerals. We have a culture where crying is a big business for people. I have two children and I'm a widow. I've been catering for my kids since 2010 and my business was set up through family and friends who borrowed me. I like going to church and visiting friends

My Business

I am into printing works. this business was chosen as a results of my training and the area I am since its the only one here. My electricity bill can cost me between 50 and 60 cedis a month and my turnover for the month is about 700 cedis a month which cover maintenance and stationery. my profit is partly invested into the business and the rest used for my kids expenses

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to buy a new colored printer for my shop. i have asked for the price which is $500. My work is mostly typing documents, exams papers for schools and funeral posters for clients. this will help me from trekking long distance to print posters for my customers. it also reduces the profit i make and also prevent my job to be done faster. my profit will increase to $40 a week!. as a widow with two kids ,this is my job i use to support myself and my kids. i hope our lenders here will help me raise this loan successfully. thank you

    Wow! I'm overwhelmed by your kindness towards funding my loan. This loan when disbursed would help me buy a laptop for designing my posters and invitation cards and it will boost my customer relation as I will be on top of my game even in this era off unannounced power outrages. May God bless all lender's abundantly and I promise to pay my loan back and never default. Thank you.

    The previous loan was a great relief for me in my business as it helpede to acquire the most needed tool at the time of disbursement fory business which led to increase in profit. Before the loan, I had to travel to pay people to work for e on coloured posters but the loanenabled me to purchase one for myself. The profit I made from the loan was used to pay my loan back and purchase all items on my daughters prosper tors to prepare her for school. I'm much grateful and highly appreciative to my lenders.
