About Me
I am Grace Addo, a young and visionary lady who hails from the eastern region of Ghana. Having been brought up singlehandedly by my mother alongside six others, life has not been easy. By the grace of God and perseverance, I successfully went through basic education, from there to Wesley Girls' High School and then to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where I obtained a degree in SVC Land Economy.
Now, after the mandatory one-year national service was over and all my efforts at securing employment proved futile, I decided to take on my mom's textile trade, which enabled her to support the family. This wasn't easy, because my society is one where it is perceived that every one who has been to school should only work in the office and nothing else. However, I braced myself up to the task, and today all those who opposed me look at me with admiration.
I am quite fond of kids and so I have been actively involved in the children ministry of my church. I am an avid reader and would soon learn swimming to help me wind down over the weekends.
My Business
I buy and sell Ghana textile prints (GTP), which is a highly-regarded traditional brand of fabric that we love. There are many reasons for which people demand or patronize my products. Basically, we have three ranges of GTP; namely, the safoa, nustyle and adepa, with the prices of the bales going for $1300, $1700 and $2300, respectively. GTP cloth is bought for marriage rites, funerals, naming ceremonies, institutional uniforms, which are normally worn on Fridays, and a host of others.
Loan Proposal
When granted this loan, I wish to top up and buy a bale of the Safoa range of the products which goes for $950. This would help increase my sales and profit. i would settle for the white fabrics in particular because they are in high deman now since most juniour high school pupis are graduating and normally request GTP white fabrics for their thanksgiving seervices in their various churches.
