About Me

I am Evelyn Boadi of Kumasi. I am a student but i do distance learning programming so i use most of my weekdays to do other trades. I am studying to be a teacher for special needs kids or pupils .
During my weekdays which i don't go to school i use my computer to draw African symbols and signs of culture , buy frames and sell them online , both in my country and outside Ghana.
So i need a loan for the acquisition of more materials for a small studio. To be able to export more.

My Business

I am an exporter and seller of great adinkra(cultural symbols of Ghana) symbols. I get people who let me customize some for them for their decoration of rooms ,shops,hotels and restaurants.
i also sell some outside Ghana with the help of some websites and friends outside Ghana.
I chose this business because people love the Adinkra symbols but are quiet expensive and sometimes difficult to get or make . These symbols are not copyright so anyone can make some but mine takes it a step further, it makes it shine and give it the African appeal many people want .

Loan Proposal

I am looking for a loan of 900 dollars to buy plastic frames , photo paper and computer for my making of the photo frames. So for now i am building my credit score up to that point so that very soon i can and will be able to purchase all my materials in bulk and start mass production of my beautiful photo hangings .
with this loan i will be able to increase my productivity and stock by about 80% ,thereby making existing clients happy ad getting new ones in addition and also increasing my revenue stream by a 100 fold.

    Dear Evelyn,

    Dear Felix,

    Please create a support ticket using the help menu (www.zidisha.org/borrower/help) to get help from a staff member. This is a place to communicate with your lenders.

    Kind regards,
    Joost
    Team Zidisha
    (I am a lender volunteer and not a staff member so i can’t help you any further)

    Ps. The following info I got from another Mentor might be useful. But if it does please still report it as an bug because this “workaround” shouldn’t be necessary.

    “As for the picture , it is the reverse of the loan step, if they find that they are failed on the first step (choose the profile picture), they need to choose desktop mode so they will see the square crop to choose their profile picture.
    Or try to use other browser beside Google Chrome.”

    Hi everyone,
    I really appreciate Zidisha and all lenders very well for giving me a good start in life . Initially I was doing just 1 picture frame for sale and it helped me alot in life . I was even able to enroll in a school where I am currently working for. Even though I need more to move my business forward,I am glad I have Zidisha and will strive to always be loyal and responsible enough to always pay back all my loans. Thank you

    I apologise for not making payments on time . I was sent to a very remote place to volunteer as a teacher and internet and network was not with my phone so I was unable to make payment.
    And I read that you need to make payment with your exact number or it might not be credited to your account.
    I pray lenders forgive me for the delay . Thank you .
    But I am glad to say I am back in full vim and vigor and will start making payments on time. Thank you all lenders . We appreciate you very much .

    I am very sorry I wasn't able to meet my payment schedule but my SIM card which I use for payments got lost together with my phone so I was unable to make payment.
    And I read that you need to make payment with your exact number or it might not be credited to your account.
    I pray lenders forgive me for the delay . Thank you .

    I am grateful to Zidisha and lenders who had faith in me and gave me the loan. I was given a loan of $9.56 cents since i am fairly new in the program and repaid $10.45.
    I am aiming fora much higher loan to purchase a big stockpile of materials for my work .
    Since if i buy in bulk i get better rates .
    Thanks ones again
