About Me

My name is Adwoa Ataa. I come from Dormaa Ahenkro in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. I attended Roman Catholic primary and Junior high School both in Dormaa Ahenkro and continued to Dormaa senior high School. When I was about to complete, my father had an motor accident and passed out on the spot. Even though l managed to write the final examination with the little support from sympathizers,but I could not continue to where I wanted. I decided then to set up my own small business to move on with life.I bought one desktop computer and a printer and started printing and typing people's project work and letters and later bought a photocopy machine with the few profit accrewed from the business. Dormaa Ahenkro is a municipality and a very busy town in which most of the youth are engaged in poultry farming and few others grow cash crops such as cocoa and cashew nuts. I am married now with three children and two of them want to be nurses and t

My Business

I print all manner of cards, wedding,autdooring,funeral invitation and many others. I also type and print letters and project works of students. My business has been useful and in demand because of this computer age where everything is done by the computer.Unlike those days when people do things manually, now times have changed and moreover,because my shop is sited close to the Dormaa midwifery school, students come to my shop to do various kinds of printing, because my customers come to stay and wait for their jobs to be completed, I took the initiative to buy a fridge and stocked it with minerals like fantastic, coke, sprite, malt and many others.This is a country that unemployment is high but with the knowledge I acquired in computing when I was at the senior high School, I decided to make ends meat out of it. I started this business with the amount of Ghs1500. Initially I bought a desktop computer, a printer and later raised some money to buy photocopy machine, a scanner and a camera to take pictures. I make daily sales of about Ghs250 a day and sometimes Ghs300. I reinvest part of the profit I make into the business to grow.

Loan Proposal

I will buy CD rom $98, pen drives $75,computer $121, one printer$95, I will buy twenty five pen drives that will help me to allow my customers buy and save necessary documents they type. My customers after buying CD ROM to save data. These items will enable me to deliver to my customers what they want to aid me a obtain more profit to help me obtain more profits.

    I have tried Adwoa Ataa's phone number several times all to no avail. I have called her references including the community leader and they have assured me they will call me whenever they get in touch with her.
    Thank you.

    Adjoa Ataa phone number cannot be reached. I made several effort reaching her community leader and other references and those that I contacted told me her bomber has been off since. Meanwhile the community leader has assured me he will try and reach her and talk to her to pay her loan.

    Whenever I call her,she tells me she will pay. She does not also tell me when she will commence payment. I have called the community leader to talk to her to honour her loan commitment.

    Adwoa Ataa said she had some business challenges. Intact she said she was attacked by arm robbers who took all her money when she was travelling to Kumasi. She told me she has started working now by the help of her senior brother so as early as possible she will resume repayments.

    Thanks to my lenders for this loan amount granted. I will buy CD ROMs, pen drives, A4 sheets for printing and photocopy. These items will increase my work load since I will be attracted by more customers and that will enable me to pay for my ward's school fees next term.
