About Me

I live in Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I am named Ernestina Timaa of House Number SE/334 in the Berekum Municipality. I have six siblings and I am the second born of my parents. I had my Junior High School at Berekum R/C “A” and feather at Berekum Senior High School (BESS). I have my own headdresser shop, also in Berekum Municipality. Reading, cooking and playing ludo are my hobbies.

My Business

I opened my own headdresser shop in the year 2012 with name “IT SHALL BE WELL” in Berekum Municipality after pursuing my Senior High Certificate. My dream was to further my education at the university, but, unfortunately, the amount the university demanded was very huge. So my mother took me to “KEEP ON HEADDRESSER SHOP” to be trained to become a perfect headdresser, because of financial problems we were facing in the first place.

So I just did what my mum wished me to do, and by the grace of God, I am now a perfect/master in headresser. I have five (5) apprentices who are learning from me what I learnt somewhere in Berekum. Every hairstyle has its price and the lower of the price costs $12 and where my shop is very well known, so it’s patronizing as well. I also sell hairs, including Brazilian hair, Obaasima hair and Super star in my IT SHALL BE WELL shop.

If the things goes well for me, I will further my education, because education is my perfect dream.

Loan Proposal

Nowadays, every woman needs their hair to be beautiful, shiny, and bright, so they always buy hair to mix with their natural ones. In my community, people always hired a car to [drive to another place and] dress their hair. However, from the day my shop established till now, I haven’t seen any single person hiring a car to dress their hair. So that kicked my heart to establish the shop in my own community. My business is booming as well, so I need to add hairs, a hair dryer, cream, and any other equipment to support my business. Even my shop needs to be renovated, but my amount can’t do all this and support my mother financially. That’s why I am pleading to Zidisha and lenders to come to my aid and support me in expanding my business. I will always abide by the rules and regulations governing Zidisha. Thank you.

    Hello Ernestina,

    Thank you for being a borrower on the first peer-to-peer micro-lending platform, building direct connections between borrowers and lenders across the globe (Zidisha).

    I am happy that you have been assigned to me as your Volunteer Mentor (VM).
    I am very grateful to have the pleasure of being a part of this organization (Zidisha).

    I hope you and your families are enjoying the loan you received from this noble service (Zidisha). It is my belief that your business probably is growing well. You didn’t go for a bank loan, which could have required paying back more in interest than the capital amount. Instead, you chose to receive an affordable loan from Zidisha to help your business grow. And, today, just look at how your business probably is running better than you expected. This is so amazing!

    This platform also is here to help you to expand your business, and to help you not worry much about business collapse. Our dear Lenders extend their generosity and express their desire not just for your business to succeed, but also for you to enjoy your life. Some borrowers and lenders even become real friends on this platform. :)

    I would be very grateful if you would continue to make payments according to your repayment schedule. Lenders on Zidisha contribute to you from the bottom of their heart, and truly want to help you to overcome your challenges. Please, the fund that our Lenders use to lend to you is the same fund that they use to lend other borrowers. So, if you don't repay the loans they extend to you, then they cannot extend future loans to others. This is the way it works.

    One person has reaped a large harvest, but today we all are sharing in it. Who is that person? That person is our beloved founder (Julia Kurnia). May the Lord Almighty bless her (Julia) and give her more knowledge and a long life. May the Lord Almighty also bless all of our Lenders, always.

    Thank you for being a part of and enjoying this noble platform, Zidisha.

    Awudu Yahaya
    Volunteer Mentor
