My name is Rebecca Tia M. I am a married woman with two children, I come from kukuom in the asunafo south district of Ghana. My plan was to become a medical doctor but it failed when I git pregnant in my very first sexual act with the man who is currently my husband with whom i have two children now. My father had disown me because of the dissapointments i brought to the family. Eventually, my father passed away. I had no option than to accept a marriage proposal from the who had taken away my virginity and gotten me pregnant. In deed life was really hot during that moment.
When I realised that there was no hope, I tried to work for one supermarket here for about 5 years, my manager encourage me to start some business which I did. Now here I am.
I own a small supermarket which is closer to a school in my town. How I started this business and how far I have come is soely as a result of hard work, perseverance and the help of God. I was selling items on the road side when I truck nearly runed over me as a results of brakes failure. The insurance company gave me some compensation which I used it to open my supermarket. I have long dream of expanding my business to include basic home supplies.
I want a loan to buy basic home supplies into my supermarket. Items like cooking utensils, toiletries, and several others are in high demand in my town. People travel far distances mainly to buy those items.
