About Me

I started schooling at African Faith Primary School. My brilliant performance spurred my parents to take me to a private school called Bible Baptist Preparatory & Junior High. Despite the tough competition in the class, I was still counted among the first three. I completed junior high with grade 07 in the year 2012 and pursued General Science at St James Seminary & Senior High with grade 09. I am currently into gari making as seen in the picture carrying peeled cassava.
I'm currently enrolling in the University for Development Studies offering Doctor of Medical Lab. Science.

My Business

I mostly negotiate with the farmers who's cassava I harvest so that I start with the harvest. After everything the money is divided into three, 2 to the farmer, 1 to myself. The gari produced is distributed to secondary schools and market women for sale. The availability of cassava almost always makes the work more convenient.

Loan Proposal

I'll want to purchase a new cassava farm before the Christmas break since it is affordable this period than the Christmas period.

    Yesterday, I bargained with a farmer for her cassava farm and she said she's going to take Gh¢ 520.00. So I'll add up to the loan and purchase that farm.

    I have travelled outside my work area and also payments are very slowed that's why I wasn't able to send it on time.

    Thank you very much Mr. Paul and StefanB for your support.
    I hope I'll be able to purchase a new siever and a frying dish.
    The remainder would be used to pay for the farmers whose cassava farm I'm currently harvesting.

    Since this was my first loan and the received amount wasn't that huge, I only used it to hire a labourer in the harvesting of the cassava and transporting it home.

    I've used it for something urgent I didn't expect and I was looking forward to receiving an amount I could use to substitute but unfortunately, I've not received it yet.
    I promise to reinstall as soon as possible.
    Thank you
