About Me

Miss Ahinful Matilda is my name. I come from Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region. I started my basic school at Berekum Akab Complex School, and from there I went to St. Monica's Secondary School in the Ashanti Region. When I completed my secondary education, I was employed as a store girl by a man. Due to my hard work, and the respect that I have for people, with a little savings I made, I started my own store and made a vegetable farm.

I started this vegetable farm with the small profit that I had from my provision store and, by the grace of God, it is improving. I am now married with children, so if I get the loan it will help me buy a lot of vegetable seeds and pay for my children's school fees with the profit that I will get from my farm products.

My Business

I started my provision store and the little profit that I got from the store I used to farm. I chose this business because a lot of people are in my area and they will need some vegetables in their homes. Some of these vegetables that I produce in my farm are carrots, tomatoes, onions, garden eggs [eggplant], etc., which everyone will need in the house.

The main motive behind me choosing this kind of business is that everyone will need vegetables in everyday life because you have to take your breakfast, lunch and supper, and you will need these items to prepare that. If I invest let's say $282, within a week I can get $95 profit because, as soon as I bring the goods, people come in and buy them.

I will use $100 to buy chemicals to spray my farm. I will also use $50 to buy fertilizer for my farm. I am going to use $33 to buy tomatoes seeds, $33 to buy carrots seeds, $33 to buy cabbage seeds, and another $33 to buy onions seeds for my farm. My capital is small: that is why I am pleading with you to help me expand my business with the loan so that I can also employ other people to work .

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy some vegetable seeds for my farm and chemicals to spray the vegetables to prevent diseases. I will use $100 to buy chemicals to spray my farm. I will also use $50 to buy fertilizer for my farm. I am going to use $33 to buy tomato seeds, $33 to buy carrot seeds, $33 to buy cabbage seeds, and another $33 to buy onions seeds for my farm.

This will create a lot of benefits for myself and others, because I will employ a lot of people to work with and pay them. Also, a lot of people will come here to buy to prevent them from going outside town to buy. I will also use some of my profit to buy items for my store and also use some to pay my children's school fees.

    Dear Lenders,

    I wanted to share these pictures of Matilda and her youngest daughter in Berekum, just after church on Sunday. A bit fussy all through mass, she of course went right to sleep once the service ended. I didn't get to chat with Matilda for too long but it was a pleasure to meet such a beautiful family, even briefly. Matilda - we wish you the best of luck with your farm and family!

    Thank you,

    Taylor
