About Me

I am a University graduate who believes that Africa could be a better place with entrepreneurship. So after my national service to my country I decided to do something with my hands and not to wait to be employed by the government. I therefore started to learn how to sew African prints and within a month I could sew perfectly like someone who has learnt it for years. I love to sew and I want to help others to learn it too.

My Business

Sewing African wears is my business and I love it so much. Although it is small now, I believe it will become bigger in the near future when I get the needed support. My dream is to become the leading supplier of African wears in Ghana and across Africa in the foreseable future and to also train brilliant but poor people to also learn and be on their own. So help me to help others.

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan, I would use it to purchase an industrial sewing machine. My current sewing machine is too old and it is not working efficiently.

If I'm able to get a new one, I could work faster and reduce production time significantly. This can help me increase my earnings by 20%.

It would cost about $350 to get it and set it up for work locally.

    The loan has really helped me acquire a few patterns that facilitated my work. When you work with patterns, your output increases since your speed of work is improved and this has really helped in producing extra clothes in a short time.
