About Me
My name is Buina Juliana, a native of Eremon in the Upper west region of Ghana. I was born to Mr and Mrs Buina who are both natives of the same town. Life in the northern part of Ghana is not realy a pleasant one as it is considered one the poorest part of the nation. We therefore had to resort to heavy farm duties to make ends meet. Some times we the children had to seek employment on other peoples farm to get some money for school. I completed middle school and further to become a nurse by profession. Later, I came to realise that my town is in need of a physician assistants and I therefore diverted to become a physician assistant. Due to my experience and the difficult situation in the north, I developed the passion of empowering women. I am a mother of 3 children and lost my husband not quite long. I have tasted it hard in life and would not wish others to suffer the same fate as mine.
My Business
I am currenly into the business of identifying and grouping women and then empowering them. Currently I lead a group of women of about 100 in number. I identified these women from the north who currently reside in the town I am and are considered vunerable. These women either have their husbands dead or have broken homes. These women are then left with children to cater for but rather find it dificult to care for them. I therefore teach these women various things like soap making, detergents and the like. This gives them a job to earn some money to care for the family. Through this also, I make health insurance for them that is able to pay for their hospital bills. It is my own little funds that I am able to raise that I use to care for all the expenses. I believe this family of Zidisha will provide me the necessary assistance to achieve this great goal.
Loan Proposal
I wish to apply for a loan to get items and ingredients for my soap making. This will help me teach the women group I lead in order for them to get job to care for their family. It will also help in the altimate goal of aleviating porverty in the area and country.
