I am a native of Kato, a suburb of Berekum municipality. I started my early childhood education at the Kato R/C primary school and Junior High School high school at the Emmanuel Presbyterian Junior High School. I then furthered my education at the Abesim Senior High School. Throughout my education, my parents had been taking care of my school fees but after my Senior High School, my family faced serious financial crisis that led to my inability to further to the university. Gladly, I met a friend who introduced me to this computer hardware business. Initially, it wasn't easy but through hard work and dedicated, I could set the business up so that I could gather something to support my education. The people in my hometown are very generous and humble. Most children would always like to be engineers in my town. I like reading story books and listening to news.
I am a young lady who deals in the sales of computers and computer parts such as monitor, speakers, keyboards, cables, system and some cooking utensils. Due to the advancement in technology these days, computer has been a very demanding utility among the youth these days. Tablets for instance has been very of very demanding these days. I chose this type of business to help the youth in my community to get proper means of communicating with the outside world. The youth need to have better equipment that can serve them better. Technology is fast advancing these days so I have engaged in it to help the young ones get update on every event. My goods cost me a lot because sometimes I have to import some of the parts and at other times too I have t travel to Accra to buy the computer parts. They cost as much as GHS 5000. My revenue is now around GHS 12,100. I would expand my business with the money and also help my younger siblings to continue their education through the senior high school.
If I am given the loan, I will buy computers and computer parts to expand my sales. These would cost around $1250. This will help increase my profit and also improve technology in my town. This loan can help me a lot increase my profit about 20% to 350%. Thank you for your generosity.
