I am Esther Wilson,from Tema in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. I have a degree in Education from the University of Cape Coast.
I have always wanted to start my own business. To get a hands-on training, I started working in my mum's shop after High School. When I got to the university, I pitched in to help anytime we were on vacation.
In 2017,I started working with a marketing company. My target at the time was $1000.00 a month. I made $4000.00 in my first month alone. Unfortunately, I had an accident in my second month. I couldn't go to work for more than a month,so, I was paid off.
At the latter end of 2017,I acquired a school,which had lost 90% of it student population and wanted to sell out..
I am the proprietress of a basic school which I acquired in 2017. After acquiring the school, I worked towards regaining the trust of parents.
By the end of 2018, the student population had increased by 100%.
I am able to raise $1000.00 a month. $500 goes into operational and overhead expenses.
The school building is 70% complete. It has potential to grow if we can complete the building.
I initially wanted to raise enough to buy cement,sand and blocks to complete the school building. though I am unable to raise that amount just yet,I have been able to acquire sand and cement. the workers have already commence the plastering and are doing marvelously well. I will use the money to pay off some of the cost of the service provided. This will make them more willing to complete the rest of the work.
