About Me

I am a business minded young lady hardworking and honest in the clothing business. I am from a small village called sabronum in the Ashanti region of Ghana. I am second born of my parents out of six children. I and my siblings lived together in one compound house with my parents. I am a seamstress in my village. I used the income from my dress making to feed my siblings and my parents. Because they are poor. I want to expand my dress making business so that my income will rise this will enable me to continue helping my siblings and my parents and needy people in my community. I need help from good people like you.

My Business

I am abled to make some dress and sell to people so I get little income. I have been in my business for the past five years up till now. Because I am using old sewing machine which I used when I was an apprentice, this makes the dress making very difficult. Many people in my village like my dress making but because of old sewing machine it can't make more dress in a day. with your help I will be able to provide service to more client which in effect will increase my profit.

Loan Proposal

Hi my good lenders I need about 1400 dollars to construct Container as my shop because where I am working now is too small for me so I want to construct a spacious place for my seamstress work and this will increase my production thereby increasing my profit

    Hi Millicent,
    I see it has been close to a year since you made any payments towards your Zidisha loan. Please make an effort to pay any amount no matter how small to show the lenders good faith. Most of us understand where there are delays but like to know why. You can change your payment schedule by logging into your account at any time. Remember it is better to make small payments rather than none at all so you can continue to borrow from Zidisha in the future. Margaret
