About Me

Laweh Paul is my name. I am a Ghanaian, I live Techiman in the brong ahafo region-Ghana. I am a young man of 29years old. I started basic education at Takofiano S.D.A school. I am the 4th born of my parent. I have seven siblings. My parent are farmer by profession. After my basic education a make further studies at techiman senior high school over there I studied general science thus biology, chemistry, physis and elective mathematics. When I completed my senior high school I decided to cultivate some land for my farm because we were having a very large land. My hobbies football, reading motivational books.

My Business

I am a farmer by profession who cultivate plantain, cocoyams, maize and other food crops, Now i want to add Cashew farming to my business.
My farm is located in Jema at Kintampo South District.
I will still invest in the maize, plantains, cocoyam, cassava, yam and the others so that i can repay my zidisha loans whiles waiting for the cashew land. I will use the family land to cultivate the maize the above mix crops.
Since my farming method is a mixed farming , including the maize every time i will get crops so repayment of my not will not be problem . In view of this i can support my family and the weekly repayment , because my crops is normally used in the preparation of most the food in Ghana and Africa.
Cashew takes about three (3) years to be fully mature after that it will be harvested Two (2) times in every year Continuously for more than thirty (30) years with good protection and maintenance of the farm..
My profit will increase from about $800 to about $2,000 ayear for the cashew and make about $150 to $370 within a week. This will be our major source of income Which I used it to help my family since my parent are old, my siblings education and support the vulnerable in my community, the remaining to reinvest in my farm.

Loan Proposal

Loan Proposal

Infate I really appreciate this opportunity given to me again to benefit from your noble organization. God richly bless zidisha lenders expecially mr. PaulBuchheit and all the people who planed in the establishment of this organization. As I said In my business I cultivates maize in large quantity and also mixed farm which entails plantain, cocoyam, okro and many more crops. Now that I received my first loan of $12.46 which was used to buy 2 mini bag fertilizers, 2 mini bottle weedicides and the repaired of my spraying machine . Part of the farm is still covered by weeds. I will be much grateful if zidisha and their lenders can help me raise another loan to buy weedicides, fertilizer, and another spraying machine which I will use it to spray the weeds, base on the agric officer recommended that I should get a fertilizer about 5bags for my maize farm but am now that am not financially strong . When I get the fertilizer I can get about 100bags of maize which will really increase my profit about $400 to $500 for the maize as stated earlier , and I will use the sale I get from the plantain, cocoyam, okro and other crops to make repayment everyweek until my maize is due for selling. I know that you will help me with my farm. I promise to pay back on time and will not go against any terms and conditions of the organization. Thank you.
