About Me

I am Rita Mensah. I completed Aburi Girls Senior High School. I could not further my education due to financial constraints. I am the elder one among my brothers and sisters. We are 11 children to our parents. Though l had keen interest in education but l had an impediment of financial incapacitation. I entered into a vocation of my choice as an apprentice. I sold oranges in the street of koforidua. It helped me to support myself financially. It was not pretty long when l lost my mum. My dad is 92 years old now. I have also completed my apprenticeship. Own my shop and machine.

My Business

I am a seamstress. I do embroidery and knitting. I sow women overall , top and down. I make dresses for all occasions such as funerals, festivals, wedding and so on. This is helpful as there is always occasion at where l live and around. I do go for contract from market women for their various occasions. Through this l have been able to help my younger brothers and sisters in their schooling. I have a son of 8 years old. 50% of my profit each week is invested into my siblings schooling. 15 % for the up keep of the whole family. 15% for savings and 20% is invested into my business.
