My father died at the age of 10 with four siblings and as single parent we passed through a lot. I used to sell plantain, kenkey to pay for fees at the primary and junior high level and involved in small scale mining to pay fees and other materials at senior high. My mum always encouraged me to study hard to overcome any challenges and l did exactly that up to teacher training and passed any exam that came my way. At primary 6 I was school prefect. Because of this I want to assist any student who goes through what I passed out. Every parents cater for their own children. Any way I am married with two sons. The older 4 years and the little one 1 year four months. As a professional teacher I used to gather children around and teach during the evening and weekend for free therefore their parents advised me to establish a private school because they saw improvements in their wards academic work. They are willing and prepared to accept anything good. I always read anything I come by and loves listening to music.
As a professional teacher I am interested in education therefore l have established AMANFO Educational Complex to provide education for students especially those under privilege and my children are performing very well because of the in-service training I provide for my teachers. Most of the public schools are full and the need to establish a private school to complement the public ones. I have always used my profits to reinvest in growing the business since my own biological children are young.
Information Communication and Technology (ICT) is a subject studied in almost all the schools in Ghana but we don’t have computers for effective teaching and learning. Thanks to Zidisha and my lenders, my school has one (1) desktop computer for the teaching of 100 students and demonstration when teaching and also keeping of important information about the pupils especially their personal data and records.
However, I am ones again appealing to Zidisha team and my lenders who helped me to acquire the computer. Now, with the approval of this loan, I would be able to add at least three (3) more computers so that pupils can utilized them effectively in groups as teachers teach and pupils practice. I know definitely that my good lenders would help this important dream to be materialized in this technological world.
Thank you.
