About Me

I was born and raised by Mr. Samuel Asiamah and Mrs. Comfort Konyor in Suhum in the eastern region of Ghana. I had my basic education at Suhum New Town Primary and JHS. I had a poor family so I had to sponsor myself in school. I did so and made it to the tertiary level. I offered [completed] a diploma in medical laboratory technician, and that is how I came up with my business. I have a two-year-old daughter. I hope she grows up to like my field of occupation. Whenever I have free time, I read news online.

My Business

I am a medical laboratory technician. I do blood screening and test for various diseases. I have passion for the work. Also, private hospitals do these tests at a relatively high cost. I just want to do it at a lower cost so that many people in my country (Ghana) can undertake voluntary counselling and testing. Currently, I use my capital for testing machines and some chemicals. I use my profits to sponsor my wife and children. I also reinvest the remaining [profit].

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy laboratory instruments and reagents. This will enable me render better laboratory services to clients who come to check their status. I appreciate very much the first loan you gave me. It enabled me to buy some of the laboratory instruments and reagents needed in the first moment, I will continue to use this second loan when given to buy some of the reagents and apparatus that I couldn't bought at the first time.

    Samuel Asiam said that there was some breakdown of some of the machinery at his lab. Hence he couldn't make payments. He promised to make payment anyway. Thank you

    I was able to reach Samuel Asiam. He said the repayment escaped him due to the loss of a loved family member. He expressed his apology and said he will make payment right away. Thank you

    I have received an amount of thousand six hundred and thirty three Ghana cedis (1,633) from the zidisha team.
    I plan using the loan to purchase laboratory equipments such as centrifuge water bath and many more.
    I say a big thank you for granting me this loan and I will ensure that I abide by the rules and regulations concerning the payments of the loan by paying the stipulated amount weekly.

    I used the loan to purchased medical laboratory equipments because I'm medical lab technician.
    Formerly because we weren't having enough equipment we were using manual methods for processing sample but because of new instrument we have gotten it has made work more easier and faster.
    Business have increased because we can fun more samples a day and it has generated a lots of funds.
    The earnings generated have been used to procure more instrument for the laboratory.
    I'm married to a lady called Joyce Asiam. We have two children, girl and a boy.
    Ghana have so many tourist site to visit during holidays such as Kakum national park in the central region, Boti falls in the eastern region and many more places.
