About Me

I was born in a small town called Kofiasuah near Dormaa Ahenkro in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. We were family of seven. Due to financial difficulties I could not have University education. I managed to complete Senior High School. I went into apprenticeship by learning carpentry. Dormaa Ahenkro is a very busy town whose natives are very hardworking.The major occupation here is poultry farming. They supply eggs to every part of the country. My children have always been promising me to study hard to climb the academic ladder so as to be good citizens to the larger society. I have the store for which happens to be my major business centre but I do the carpentry job alongside. I like playing football a lot.

My Business

In my shop you can obtain everything that is used in a building. Some of these items include lavatory equipment, underground pipes ceiling button and many others. There are many Government building projects and individual building projects in and arround the municipality hence there is always the demand for these items every now and then people are looking for plumbing materials as well as lavatory items to fix in their new homes and in old home where some of there items are dilapidated the come to buy new ones for replacement. I had learnt carpentry so I preferred going into business that involves building materials so that whenever I am engaged in any contract I could use the opportunity to market my items.

Loan Proposal

I wish to buy the following into my shop. Lavatory equipment,underground pipes, nails, roofing sheets,oil and motion paints. I will buy five sets of lavatory equipment $22, ten bundles of underground pipes $23, six packets of roofing sheets $24, I will buy ten talons of motion paint for painting rooms $21.

    I bought five sets of lavatory equipment, I also bought various items like glue, solitape and many others. I was able to catch the attention of more customers to my shop expecially people who are now building,that is new sites. This increased my profits to some extent. I was able to increase sales from about 30% to 80%. The profits realized from this aided me to easily pay for my ward's school fees which I used to go for loan before before paying. I reinvested the remaining amount into my business. I must confess that this loan amount has changed my life. Food for the family is improved. I can now buy well treated water for my family
