About Me

My name is Richard Oteng a business minded young man hardworking and honest in the clothing business. I am from a town called Ejisu in the Ashanti region of Ghana. I am firs born of my parents out of four children. I and my siblings lived together in one compound house with my parents. I am a tailor in my village. I used the income from my dress making to feed my siblings and my sick father. Because they are poor. I want to expand my dress making business so that my income will rise this will enable me to continue helping my siblings and my sick father and needy people in my community. I need help from good people like you.

My Business

I am able to sew some dress and sell to people but I get little profit. I have been in my business for the past three years up till now. Because I do not have enough capital I cannot buy more materials and sew for people to buy. This makes the dress making very difficult. Many people in my village like my sewing design but because of not enough capital it can't make more dress.. With your help I will be able to provide service to more client which in effect will increase my profit.

Loan Proposal

I need loan to purchase sewing materials like lining, stiff, byers to aid my dress making easily and faster. I need about 300 dollars this will increase the work output which will increase my income as well. This loan will increase my production there by increasing my profit and it will help me take good care of my sick father.

    Still can't get in touch with Richard since all the phone contacts he provided on his page are switched off.

    I am able to speak with one of the neighbors who promised to check on Richard to see what is wrong/happening to him or why he failed to continue with his repayment.
