About Me

My name is Elizabeth Okai. I am 18 years of age. I am a Ghanaian and I live in Madina. I attended St. Peter's Mission School for my junior high education and Methodist Girls for my secondary school education.

After school, I decided to venture into business to be able to sponsor my tertiary education. My mother is a petty trader, so things are not rosy at home. I often help her in her trade. I thought of establishing my own business to lift the burden off my parents and create a better future for myself.

Ghana is a very peaceful country with fertile land. Agriculture is a very prosperous business here. My hobbies are listening to music and reading.

My Business

I deal in buying and reselling cosmetics, shoes, bags and jewellery. There are lots of ladies and women who fancy the goods I sell. I chose this kind of business because it's a business that sells out quickly. Sometimes one person can buy three to four different items at one time. I use about $100 to get my goods and I get back a 50% profit, which is $50. I save my profits for school in a bank, then I use the rest to continue my business.

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to extend my business I started recently. I want to extend my little business to make something of my life and later further my education. I will buy more of the things I started my business with which are;bags, cosmetics,shoes and jewellery. The bags cost about $50,the cosmetics cost about $55,the shoes would also cost about $55 and the jewellery would cost about $70.
This loan would expand my business which also help in the preparation of furthering my education. I'll also be able to take care of my siblings since the look up to me as their big sister.
I expect and hope to get a profit between 50-70%.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances I will like to reduce my installment amount to enable me pay on time

      How does that work? I have seen an option to get my loan back right now. Should I do that?

          I didn't mean it like that. I was wondering if I had to do anything to reduce her installments. But thanks!

    currently the installment amount is too big for me to pay.

      Elizabeth,
      I got message that "your loan has expired" and my contribution was returned. Are there issues with loan disbursement in Ghana? Create a support ticket so someone can look into it. If you have to reapply, I will contribute again to your loan.
