About Me

There are many people who are living in this world and everyone has different personalities. There are no two people who have the exactly same personalities. Everyone in this world is unique in their own ways. One's personality is something that does not change which makes one unique and special. As for me, I am a responsible and sympathetic person, however, I am a self-centered person as well who may have made enemies with a lot of people.

I am a pretty responsible person and I do what I am supposed to do. As now, I am a businessman, I am into second hand clothing. I am currently living in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. I am currently single, therefore I do my home chores every single day and before going to work . I also pay attention in my business most of the time as well. Besides that, I organize my work as well. At home, I do house works, such as doing laundries and washing dishes. I clean my room trice a week as well because that is my responsibility as being unmarried. I also help out friends and neighbors when they need help. I give out advice and suggestions to them when they need support and help as well. Generally, I can say that I am a responsible person who does my duties.

Besides being a responsible person, I am also a person who is sympathetic. I have been a sympathetic person when I was really young. For example, when I walk on the street and saw some handicapped people or vagrants, I would help them by giving them money or whatever things that I can do for them to have a better living. When I see animals without a home, I feel sorry for them and I might buy some food for them to eat. I used to donate money to the charities for orphans with my family as well. I feel sympathetic to many people in the world and therefore I do something to help them have a better living.

Even though I am a sympathetic person, however, I am a self-centered person as well.
My birthday is 5th May, 1977. I was born in a town called Bejiase in the central region of Ghana. About my hobbies, I like listening to music and watching football matches. I dislike laziness. About education, I completed Senior High School.

I hope become a great business man in the field of fashion industry. I hope to own many fashion shops in Ghana and beyond.
Mission statement

To supply my customers with high quality clothing on daily basis. The drive to deliver suitable or quality cloths for my customers resulted in the establishment of a well experienced fashion team (friends, stakeholders, fashion experts, customers etc) that has the ability to consult on, design, and sow tailor-made cloths for any occasions, business events, casual wares and etc.

I have set a high quality standard in the fashion industry thereby helping my customers to wear the best quality of cloths for each occasion. I have a shop at Accra central, where I sell my unisex clothing.

Loan Proposal

The human race universally wears articles of clothing-also known as dress, garments, or attire-on the body in order to protect it against the adverse climate conditions. In its broadest sense, clothing is defined as the coverings of the torso and limbs, as well as the coverings for the hands, feet and head. Articles carried rather than worn, such as purses, are usually

counted as accessories, while glasses or jewelry, although worn, also fit this category.
In most cultures, clothing was introduced as a method of protecting the human body against extreme weather conditions -strong winds, intense heat, cold and precipitation. In particular, the weaves of clothes prevent the circulation of air around the skin and thus, avoid the exit of the air reheated by the skin, which makes people feel uncomfortable and cold. Additionally, the clear weaves of clothing avoid the ultraviolet radiation of the sun and the burns in the skin, protecting it, therefore, from the heat. Finally, more impermeable weaves protect the human body from coming into contact with the water of rain or snow.

But people wear clothing for functional as well as social reasons. Apart from the practical functions of placing a piece of garment above the skin, wearing clothes also carries specific cultural and social meanings.

Today, there are many materials with which clothes are made. A person can choose from purchasing clothes made from natural origin materials, like silk, wool, and leather, but may also select one for the man-made fibers extensively used in clothes manufacturing, like nylon, polyester, Lycra and Gore-Tex. With the recent technological developments, there is great speculation for the direction future clothes will take; in fact the clothing electronics industry has just started.
I am looking for a loan to expand my clothing business. I want to operate a unisex boutique in the near future. I am looking forward to raise about Gh¢ 50,000.00 via Zidisha platform, so help me God.
