About Me

I am a woman who believes in all honesty and hard work. I come from Kukuom. It is a farming community located in the southern part of Ghana, specifically in the Asunafo south District. I am a married woman with two children. All my children are attending school now. My husband is a police officer in Kukuom, the town where I live.

My Business

I am very grateful to God and to my kind-hearted husband whom through his effort has brought my business this very far. I started my business about one year six months ago when I graduated from school. I didn’t want to be a graduate unemployed. This, however, brought to me the fact that most people choose to rely on the government for jobs. My husband set up my business capital for me . Since then, my business is growing bit by bit each day.

Loan Proposal

One local business which in the last few years has been booming in my community is the selling of local plate and bowls. This business is very lucrative in my community because the patronage has been great. I used my maiden loan to establish it and, in fact, it has really helped me a lot. My profit margin has increased. I will use my loan to expand my business by buying the plates and the bowls in large quantities to add to the existing stock. With that, I am very hopeful that more profit will be made to look after my family. Moreover, I will use part of my profit to pay back for the weekly installment of my loan.
