About Me
I am Afriyie Samuel who has reached 27 years . I come from a town known as Dadieso, one of the towns in Western region of Ghana. I was brought up by my Grandmother because my mum passed on, as the saying goes in Ghana' if ntifu is not there, pagyafo is there' so therefore, my dad got married again and have 3 more children from his next married. My grandparents use to stay at Anagy in Takoradi metropolis therefore my friends called me anagy. I had my basic education at that same place.
My Business
My Grandfather was a farmer so I used to accompanied him to farm on weekdays and holidays. There is no place like home so we definately went home after my grand dad had retired so we continued the farming work there. I gathered some money from the sale of produced to acquire my own land where I'm farming. I make good sale after selling my produced especially cassava.
Loan Proposal
Good lenders and zidisha team, the drought has almost ended in Ghana and time to clear the bush and start planting since the torencial rainfall is about to start. We the peasant farmers sonely deped on because our capital is small to introduce irrigation, so please assist me if not, I will be late and affect my produce, thank you.
