Vida Serwaa is my name, a native of Tanoso in Techiman-South Constituency. I was raised by my grandmother Madam Ama Nnipa in this village and educated till I completed basic primary school by which I obtained B. E. C. E certificate. I passed in distinction but could'nt futher to the next secondary level because there were no parents alive to futher my education, so I quited.
At the age 14 yrs, I join myself to my uncle Thomas to grow tomatoes so as to earn money for simstres (dressmaking) training. After the season, the plants were fruitful by the grace and mercies of Jehovah Elohim.I gain some money from my uncle for the dressmaking training.
I decided not to aquire a dressmaking training in Tanoso rural area but rather migrate to the Techiman, the urban municipal town for dressmaking training.
For 3 yrs aquisition of training and skills at Techiman, I pass through all kings of hardship but I never gave-up because I had no relative at Techiman, therefore, I press stedfastly till I completed succeessfully.
Now, for almost 10 good yrs, I had my own dressmaking centre at Techiman-Ahenfi II and had been a trainer to new trainee's. I have beloved 5 yrs daughter Benedicta Dufie, its my prayer she don't suffer as I did, but working effortfully for her higher education and high professionalism of my business.
I make dresses of cloths, weave cloths and tailoring of cloths. It has being my choice of career over 13 yrs now. Cloths and dresses are high demanded item on market. It is useful to children, adults, old age and to the dead. Cloths are fiber, textile material and a flexible material consisting of natural and artificial fiber worn on the body. It is my vision to extend and advance my sevices. I am working effortfully to improve the productivity and services with the new methods and technologies of this time. Notwithstanding, in any fruitful busines, there must be addition to modern interventions in order to yield a successful production.
I intend to extend the equipments of production of cloths. Purchasing of sewing machines, purchasing of fiber, cotton, nylon, threads, flexible materials and textiles for good clothing. I understand that quality product attracts customers, this increases the cost of demand for the product. Dressmaking will help me generate revenue for investment and savings to yield in raising up more centres for new trainees.
