About Me

Life at childhood was very interesting. I had the chance to be educated as a child. As the saying goes, success is not achieved on a silver platter: I struggled and strived to survive after my junior high education. By God's grace, I managed to work hard and, with my determination, I have now entered a tertiary institution offering general nursing.

My Business

I am a student and at the same time a private business man. I am into small-scale farming. I deal with the rearing of animals (livestock). I now have about 250 poultry birds and am hoping to expand. I also rear pigs as well. I started with two (a male and a female) and now I have eight of them.

Rearing these animals has not been easy at all; feeding and managing it alone has not been easy. Being a student and taking care of this business at the same time is not easy, so I have employed someone to take care of this business for me and it all involves money. I incur a cost of about GHS 410 ($90 USD) every month.

I decided to engage in this business because it's very good and profitable. In my community, eggs are very costly, which leads me to get enough income from the eggs my poultry produce.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to purchase more poultry birds and invest in nutritious food for my poultry and pigs. In doing so, my animals may grow effectively and this may lead to better production from my business.

This is going to cost me about GHS. 1,200.00 ($261 USD), which means I have to add some amount to the money I will raise. If my business expands as expected, this will allow me to hire some people who can also earn a living through my business.
