About Me

I am Tamea Bertha and my parents are Mr. & Mrs. Opoku. We all live in Amangoase a suburb of Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region. I began my elementary school at Berekum Presbyterian Day Primary school and furthered to Berekum Presbyterian Senior High School.
After my secondary education, things were difficult so I decided to learn sowing from Mrs. Agnes Opare who is popularly known as the Queen seamstress of Berekum township. I learnt for 3years and was later made the apprentice among others
Today, I am running my own little firm at Amangoase (Berekum) where I sow both men & women clothing's, as well as kids clothe and the like. I like reading, listening to music and watching movies.

My Business

I started my business in the early 2013 which I sew clothes like trousers, shirts, skirts and many more. I instituted the business in Berekum since there is not lot of tailors in my vicinity. Besides, I am located at a good point where many people pass by and see clearly my hand work. It is therefore my wish to expand my firm in order to satisfy the needs of my neighbors and others. I have planned on buying an electric sewing machine to help make my work go easier and quicker which would make me sew more than usual. At the moment, I'm using a single manual sewing machine which makes my work very tedious which takes much time to sew a single clothe.

In spite of this, I would like to associate with the awesome work of Zidisha to lend me a loan to help me my sewing work to grow. Thanks !

Loan Proposal

I am requesting for another loan from lenders again. This time, if granted the loan, I will use it to extend my business like, buying of new sewing machine, measuring tape, scissors and the like, I have decided to do this as I am now looking forward to employing new workers to train to help me as I know work would be easier and faster when I have other workers helping me. This is because, sometimes I spend lots of time on few sewing and if there was additional machine and someone to help then work would have been quicker and easier for me. It will also help my business to grow faster and my discount rate to grow as compared to the percentage I have made so far without workers. I expect my profit discount to move to at least 10% or more. I hope I will be granted the loan and do with it as I have planned, thank you !
