About Me

I hailed from a small village called Nsu-Nia. Even though my parents were peasants, they managed to raise a loan for me and I built a container store. Once I had junior brothers and sisters, there was the need for me to work hard to fend for them and their education as well. My mates who had their parents doing well in their businesses went to the University. With the container store I built, I began selling tin tomatoes, milk, pure water, polythene bags, sugar and some toffees.
Nsu-Hia is a village which is near the virgin forest so most of the men are hunters. Bush meat is common in this community. Most of the natives are peasants. Others grow cash crops, for example cashew nuts, coffee and cocoa. Most of the food crops that they produce are transported to the Dormaa municipality for sale during the general market on Tuesdays. My children have proposed that they want to go to University and, after that, they will be lawyers.

My Business

I sell general goods like tin tomatoes, sugar, soaps - in fact, any item that my customers would request. I make a minimum sales of GHC 300 a day. In some other days, especially market days, my sales are doubled. It is my plan to obtain a new shop so that I can put part of my goods there and employ someone else.

Loan Proposal

I will buy five bags of perfume rice. Each bag is $15; the five will cost $75. With these five bags of rice, I could make a profit of $5 each, making a total profit of $25. I will also buy six boxes of Ideal milk. Each box costs $20, so six will amount to $120. For each milk box, I will make a profit of $5. I will also need seven packets of baby diapers, each pack costing $7. Seven will amount to $49. I will make a profit of $2 on each pack, making a total profit of $14 on diapers. I want to also buy five boxes of bathing soap. One box will be $25, therefore five will amount to $125. Each box of the soap will get me profit of $6, so I will make a profit of $30 on the soap.

About Me

I hailed from a small village called Nsu-Nia. Even though my mum was a peasant farmer and my dad was a teacher and still teaches, managed to raise a loan for me and I built a container store. Since I have junior brothers and sisters, there is the need for me to work hard to fend for them and their education as well. My mates whose parents are rich went to the University.

My Business

I sell general goods like Tin Tomatoes, sugar, soaps. In fact, I have so many different items in stock for sale in my shop. I make a minimum sales of ghc300 a day. In some other days especially market days, My sale is doubled. It is my plan to obtain a new shop so that I can put part of my goods there and employ someone else to assist me in the business. The most fortunate aspect of my business that make it prosperous is that I'm close to the Senior High School in town so petty items they need are all bought from my shop. My dad who is a tutor at the school usually promote me on some few things that students would need and this has helped me a lot in my business.

With the profit I'm making, I'm planning to start a building project with it where my family will live for the rest of our life. I want to thank my lenders once again for how far they have turned my live around and would also want to thank the Zidisha team for assisting me in this direction.

    I have in stock Milk,Milo,Nestle Cafes,rice both local and foreign, I have also bought sugar in larger quantity to supply my customers who bake bread. I have been able to buy all these out of the loan amount funded. Whilst my shop is looking attractive to customers, it is also earning me more profits. I should be thankful to my lenders for projecting my life this way. The most serious thing that will not let me forget Zidisha is that I have been able to squire a piece of building plot that in future I will build and stay in with my family. I have achieved this because of Zidisha loan. Thank to my numerous lenders who made this possible.

    Hi lenders my shop is becoming one of the busiest shops in town. The loan you funded has enabled me to buy more stock for my shop. Some of which include; milk, sugar, Milo,perfume rice,can Coca-cola etc. I'm seeing great change as my shop increase in the number of things I sell. I hope with time my shop will turn out to be a wholesale shop.
