About Me

My name is Gabriel Mensah. A Ghanaian by birth and a business minded young energetic man. I come from Goaso, a village in the Asunafo north district in brong Ahafo. Every thing was good throughout my childhood. I had a chance to be enrolled in one of the best private schools in my area. My family was good until the unfortunate happened. My parents had a car accident. My beloved father died at the spot where as my mum had a severe injuries which resulted in her paralyzing condition presently. Because of this, my dream of becoming a medical Doctor just died off. Since there is a saying that when life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life 101 reasons to be happy, I decided to take another direction to stop schooling .To me, nothing is impossible under this sky if determination and positive thinking exist.

My Business

I entered into this business about two years ago when a friend introduced me into it. He gave me the initial capital to start the business. I was asked to pay back at my own comfort which I did. Now my whole family depends on this business of mine. I needed to expand my business to fetch me more income to be able to shoulder this family responsibilities. I prayed almost every night to get a helping hand to help my business grow until a friend introduced me to zidisha.

Loan Proposal

I need a loan from zidisha to enable me to buy fresh fish and meat to sell. Many people walk about 4 miles mainly to go and buy fish or meat. With my store closer to them, they will come and buy from me. With a loan from zidisha my income will rise. Therefore, repaying this loan will be very simple for me.

    I can confirm with authority that Gabriel has made payments as he sent the merchant receipt of his payment of the full loan amount to me.

    Gabriel contacted me today on my cell phone and said he want to make the payment today. I told him that the Zidisha team and lenders will be very much happy to hear from him after several weeks of silence. But he should explain why he missed payments.

    I called Gabriel and enquire on his business and why he has has lost repayments for a couple of times now. He said that business is down now due to low electricity supply and power outages. He pleaded and and promise to start paying soon
