About Me

My name is Georgina Acheampomaa and I hail from Berekum Jamdede in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. Im married with kids. My only occupation is my dressmaking which has a trade name as Gina Fashion Centre. This business put in place in the year 2013 with a single manual sewing machine and two laboures. Thank you.

My Business

Dressmaking is one of the lucrative ventures as far as the primary hunan need of clothing is being met. At each passing day, as the urge of people to look more attractive and for protection for the harsh weather condition increase, the demand for clothes also increases more which has indeed favoured me in the progress of my dressmaking business by the trade name Gina Fashion Centre. This business put in the year 2013 with a single manual sewing machine and two laboures. I earned from the business which I bought two electrical sewing machines and one neatening machine. I currently have four sewing machines, one neatening machine and four apprehentice. We make female dresses, men shirts and trousers, corpse dresses, grave flowers, wedding gowns and all kind of clothes suitable for cold and hot either condition. I hope to meet international standard and ever-growing demands of my customers next year.

Loan Proposal

Dressmaking business as one of the lucrative venture requires a lot of money which I would be very grateful if you could financially come to my aid. This kind of business requires that the environment of the workplace be made beautiful and attractive to customers. As such we would need money to lay flour tiles and to furnish there in order to attract customers. Also we would need the money to enable us buy the materials in bulk from the wholesellers and not from the retailers as at most times the prices of the same quantity of materials from retailers have been quite higher than those of the wholesellers. This will help us to make more dresses at affordable prices for our customers. Thank you.

    Dear Zidisha,
    I appreciate the aid you have given me so far very much. As I explained earlier that I was attacked by armed robbers some time ago, I have found it very difficult to get back on my feet once again. The attack forced me to rent machines for my business. These rented machines made things worse as they were not very effective. This has greatly affected my income to the extent that I as much as I tried, I could not even afford to send my ward to a medical school.
    Currently I have returned the rented machines. I hope to attain a reasonable income from my citrus farm next year January so as to enable me resume work and pay off my debt.
    I therefore wish to reduce my payment installment to 5GHS weekly installment starting from next week.

    Dear leanders,am very sorry for not keeping you updated but my husband(samuel effah who is also a member) and i was attack by armed robbers in july 2017 and stole my tools and equipment for work.
    this made me go bankrupt because i couldn't even generate enough funds to purchase new machines and even pay my workers salaries.
    But by Gods grace my husband and i have generated a little amount of money to purchase new tools for work.so i promise to
    resume my weekly payment on the 20th day of may in the year 2018 and promise to settle any arrears left to keep this institution running.
    Than you
