About Me

I completed University for Development Studies in 2013. And I obtained a bachelor of arts in "Integrated Community Development". I'm self employed and a community developer. My aim is to provide the rural folks with potable water. I got money from vegetable cultivation and started my water project. The land of Bono manso is very good for vegetables and cashew. The people are very hospitable and Loving which attracted me to live here. My children would like to work as a team to fighting poverty. They have always said "dada poverty is our great enemy and we shall work hard as a team to fight it"

My Business

I drill boreholes in rural communities and mechanized them so that the rural folks get potable water. The rural folks drink water from ponds, rivers, dugouts etc which is not potable at all for drinking. l decided to do this business so that water born diseases could be minimized. The cost of drilling one borehole ranges from $4166.70 $4629.60 excluding extension. Normally, I realize $18 and $6 a day for dry and rainy seasons respectful. I use my profit for reinvestment, my children education, cashew plantation and home improvement.

Loan Proposal

I would like to use money for purchasing a poly tank and plumbing materials. The materials are as follows:
1poly tank=$405.5
58 1 1/2 PVC pipes =$180
21 3/4 PVC pipes= $60
2 S100 =$5
11 3/4 taps=$61
2 trade tapes=$2
7 air vibes=$18
14 1 1/2 bends=$9
6 3/4 bends=$4
1hacksaw=$6.
Customers will get potable water at their doorstep because water will be extended closer to their surroundings when all these materials are purchased. It will also increase my daily profit from $37 to $46 and this will change my family's financial status.

    We take clean water for granted in the United Kingdom. It should be available to everyone! Keep up the good work.

    You are doing a great job Sir by solving one of the major problems in most African countries. With clean water your community's health will improve hence people will spent less on medical related issue resulting from use of unclean/dirty water. Keep it up.
