About Me

I was born in Maamobi, a suburb of Accra on the 14th of February 1982. such a special day it was and coincidentally, i was born in a church!
I grew up having to overcome series of sicknesses and illness, which i have grown up to understand that they could have been prevented, if my parents had sort early treatment. Well, i couldnt have blamed my parents because, seeking early treatment requires at least an amount of money! I could only blame poverty for all that i have been through.
Then i took a stand- To assist less previleged people in our community to seek early treatment to, in the least way i can. therefore, i would become a Doctor in the future!
this dream was however denied by headmasters who have no idea why i want to become a doctor.. i was however forced to study business which i persued to Tertiary Level, but i know oneday, i would come back to persue my dream, formally or informally.

My Business

My business involves giving medical care to the people living in remote or rural areas at a reduced cost. I chose to do this because of my childhood struggles with health as a result of my parent's inability to access affordable health care services.
I had to put aside my educational qualification to undergo years of training in altenative health care providing, since i was not given the chance to pursue that dream in my secondary school days.
Nornally, back in my city, i render these health cre services at a standard cost so i can gather some funds to cover the cost of rendering affordable and almost free service to the less privileged in the rural areas

Loan Proposal

As a mobile healthcare service provider, I need a loan facility to assist my movement in educating my people about health and buy herbal medicine to aid in my operations in the remote areas.
This will benefit my people who are not privileged to access quality healthcare at an affordable fee. my mission out there is to create health awareness and services to my people by offering down to earth fees but very quality health care services and products
I cannot achieve this aim, without your generous support and encouragements.
Thanks for sharing my vision

    Hello,
    I have made payment of GH50 on wednesday 31st August before making another payment of GH30 on monday 5th Sept 2016.

    However only Monday's payment has been credited to my account. nothing has been said about about my earleir payment and I still have outstanding balance to pay right now.. when in actual fact, i have even paid my next week's instalment.

    why is this so please?

    My budget was distorted due to the error created by the system.. and i've been trying my possible best to recover my early payment habits..
    But the more i try to achieve this, the more my outstanding balance increases and the more my guarantors are being contacted.. very embarrassing

    I'm sorry i have to adjust my repayment schedule.
    Reason being that, last week I received an email from Zidisha, prompting me on an amount of GHC555 ($50) was wrongly sent to my MTN Account on the 4th of November, 2015.
    Although I did not receive any form of notification from mtn about this transaction, my mobile money records shows that the said amount was added to my balance then. (which i could not challenge because of not keeping records of my transactions.
    I have no option left than to repay back the said amount.
    in other not to put too much pressure on my budget, i wish to adjust my repayment amount so i can pay regularly and on time.
    sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Hello Lenders
    I received an email from our community Zidisha that I was owing a due that was supposed to be paid on 13th March 2016.
    To set the record straight, I effected that payment on the said date and three days later, I received a confirmation email and text from Zidisha which also reflected on my page.
    Surprising, this transaction has been reserved and my account is showing delay payment status..
    I'm intouch with support and I hope it would be corrected..
    My next repayment is tomorrow, and not 13th March.. Thanks.
    Regards.

    Hello, Lenders!
    It's been a while since I posted here. It was because I was out of town with my team to carry out business as usual!
    I must admit that business eventually has picked up, especially in this month of March. We have seen a tremendous increase in patronage and a lot more has been attended to! This is actually in line with my desire of attending to more and more people on a daily basis. So, I'm very excited by this development and I hope this trend continues!
    Thanks so much for your support.
    Regards.

      Yes they are so cute!
      None of them is mine. They are all holding a refreshing yoghurt drink. I was really touched when they sang and prayed for me.. I love those kids!!!

    Hello Lenders,
    Today is a very special day in my life, as i turn 34 today!
    i want to use this opportunity to say a very BIG thank you for your help and support over the period.
    Since i was born in a church, on the 14 th Feb and on a sunday, i have decided to spend the whole day in a nearby church, where i would be organizing a small party for the Sunday School children. I cant wait to see the smiles on their faces as i host them.
    Hopefully, i will share some of the images here with you.

    Thank you once again. Happy val's day to all..

    Hello Lenders,
    I just got back from Galo Sota, a remote village in the Volta region of my country, where I have been organising a free health-screening exercise for the people in that small farming community.
    Personally, I'm happy that I have been of help to the community.
    The only difficulty was lack of mobile-network reception, which prevented me from repaying on Sunday as scheduled.
    I'm happy to be back, and I have paid my loan.
    Please forgive me for the one-day delay.
    It was beyond my control. Thanks for your patience.

    Greetings my dear lenders.
    Business in this month has been a bit slow as any other January.
    I believe January is always a difficult month as people normally over spend during the festive period, coupled with the burden of paying school fees from the little left.
    Fortunately for me, i have been able to break-even for this month and my working capital has not been affected in anyway...
    I'm particularly happy that I can still repay my loan as scheduled despite the fall in patronage..
    Looking forward to a better month in February.

    Regards.
