I am Alhassan Shamsu from Tamale in the Northern region of Ghana and I stays in Aboabo a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region. 24 years old and I started primary school in Tamale and completed Junior high school also in Tamale in a school called Tamale basic and junior high.
Before then my parents that that is my father was an exporter of goods and my mother too was also owning a shop that father raise it for her. My father went for a loan in the Commercial bank of Ghana in Tamale to put in his export business and all the he exported sunk and we have to rely on my mother for food because my father went for a loan, he has to sell the shop to settle the bank. That time was unbearable for me, so I have to come to kumasi for street hawking so I can meet my daily meal and send some to my parent.
I start hawking yogurt on the street like two to three years with enough savings and I met a friend who was hawking second hand clothing and I told I want to do his work too and he told me if only I can.
I am into second hand clothing which I sell trousers, belt, skert, men t - shirt, ladies t - shirt.
I sell my clothing on a cheap cost to get meet my profit so that clothing with finished and go for new clothes.
This is a business that you will earn your income daily.
I buy the goods in the hands of the bail owners for $2 and i sell to people who buy from me for $3.
I will buy clothing's from the bail owners for $2 and i will sell out to people who buy from me for $3 .
I have one boy who I have just do some table for him so that he can be selling the clothing on the table so that he can also meet his daily meal.
I earn a lot of profit because i feed myself and my family too also saving some money.
