About Me

My name is Appiah Joseph, people normally call me AJ. I am noted for my dark complexion.
I completed Secondary School in the year 1985 at Berekum Secondary School. My family could not afford to fund for continuation of my education so i found a way of taking care of myself through trading. I have two children, Asomah Appiah and Akua Appiah: Asomah wants to be a nurse in the future and Akua also wants to learn marketing. From my personal experience through life and the vicissitudes that comes with it, i have dedicated myself to work hard and serve my children so that they can climb more far than where i have reached.
Fufu with groundnut soup is my favourite dish. But i also like meat a lot.
I usually hangout with friends during my leisure time. We usually discuss what we can do to improve our lives. I like hanging out with them because they often give me courage to move on .

My Business

I am a dealer in the sales of second hand sneakers. We usually buy them in bulk from Kumasi, Ashanti Region and bring them back to sell at home. I have my many loyal customers due to my honesty and sales of quality and beautiful used shoes and sneakers. I also travel to neighbouring towns during certain days in the week; Wednesday and Friday. That has also helped my business a lot. The market is booming and the demand for such goods are very high. If i am given this loan i can easily sell them and repay it on time. I love this business because i have learn a lot

Loan Proposal

I need a loan of about $279 to purchase a bulk of shoes and sneakers from a neighboring town in order to meet the demands for such commodities during the Christmas and New year celebrations. This is a very good time of the year to make profit from the sales of such commodities since many customers troop to the market to purchase some for themselves and their family. This will intern help me to take good care of myself and my family and I must be thankful to Zidisha that, ever since I started taking your loans, my life has really improved and I'll do all effort possible to repay the loan. I believe you will help me raise this second loan. Thank you
