About Me
My full name is Takyi Mends but people usually call me Alhaji. There was this beautiful lady(Muslim) in my area (during my Junior High School days) that i liked so much but said we can only be together only if i was a Muslim therefore my friends began to called me Alhaji in order to help me win her, that earned me that nickname.
I am my parents' second born among the three children that they have. Like most homes in Africa, i was not all rosy growing up but by God's grace i was favoured enough to complete my Senior High School education at Berekum Presbyterian Senior High School and later furthered it at a private tertiary school in Kumasi, Ghana.
I am very extrovert and i like to talk and express myself a lot. I am addicted to learining the best wat of communicating with people because i have realized interaction with people can really affect our lives both positive and negatively.
I enjoy watching tv and reading information on the internet.
I eat a lot; Emotuo with groundnut soup is my favourite dish. I also enjoy fruits a lot especially oranges.
My Business
I run a registered and licensed pharmacy shop in my residence, Brenyekwa, Berekum. It can be located just closer to the KIA station. My senior brother and I opened this shop but i am the only one in charge of it now and responsible for the day to day running of this noble pharmacy.
Initially we opened this pharmacy through the savings that we made during our days in tertiary institution and doing menial jobs during vacations. We chose to open a pharmacy because we loved that profession. Today we are very grateful for the pharmacy because our hard work and dedication has really paid off.
It has not only earned us a living but also saved lives of people in our community.
We sell drugs lilke folic acid, epiderm(cream for skin rashes).
Lumefanthrine which is an anti-malaria drug, Multi-vitamins, Arthemether injection and drugs and many more
Loan Proposal
I need a loan of about $100 to buy more anti-malaria drugs like Arthemeter and Lumafanthrine to help patients find it easy to cured their sickness and eventually grow my business. I need to also retail more of Paingay Gel, Deep Heat, and Cool Freeze which also help in healing the injured along with condoms and Dorifa A and B capsules and cough mixtures.
My business will grow if customers are able to find all that they need at my pharmacy. This loan will indeed help me save lives in my community since people will not travel afar or a long distance to buy these common drugs. The market is already booming so i will be able to pay the loan back on time. I always make it an effort to make the prices of my pharmacy products more attractive therefore people from all levels of life troop them to purchase their choice and this has been helpful to me and the community
