About Me

I am the last of eight offspring of my parents. I was born and bred in Ghana in the western part of the African continent. I stayed a bit in Ivory Coast, where my mum was a trader and my dad, a businessman. I later moved to Burkina Faso with my mum after my dad passed away, and since then I have been closer to my mum more than any other person.

I started my education in Ghana, and now I have completed senior high school and wish to start a business on my own to be able to provide for my tertiary education fees. But to do that means I will have to work a lot to save some money for my oncoming financial needs. I completed junior high school in the year 2011 and senior high school in 2014.

My hobbies are making designs, playing music on our church piano and, finally, teaching our choir how to read music notes. I really enjoy singing and designs.

My Business

I make graphic designs with the use of programs like Photoshop and CorelDraw. The designs I make usually are posters, invitation cards, wedding programs and many more.

I have been in graphic design for about a year and over. I wish to make my own photocopy shop and design center, since I have been employed by a certain printing press in my locality.

Loan Proposal

I am very happy to all you dear lenders for the previous loans you helped in raising.
Please, I have been admitted at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana to study computer. I have managed to get to school and I was given computer Science as a major course to take but I don't have a personal laptop.
I asked some time ago that I needed some money for a photocopy machine and by your help I was able to buy and even service it very well.
Please, help me to facilitate my education for me.
I need about $300 for the machine and I have managed to get some part so I need like $260 so that I will be able to get myself a used one to do my studies on.
I know that if you have the money, you will not withhold it from education. Pls, help me.
Thank you!

I have been in Graphic designs for about 2 years and over. I wished to make my own photocopy shop and design center since I have been employed by a certain printing press in my locality.
But by God's grace and the help of the Zidisha society, especially, MR. PAUL GRAHAM, I have been able to open my own photocopy shop.
I really like it here and in fact, I am, I think a blessing to my area because many people could go long distance just to make photocopies, but ever since I bought (still owning some of the money) a used photocopy machine, they do not need to travel to such distance just for photocopies.
