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

If I'm granted the loan, I will use it to buy an electric sewing machine since I have been using the manual "singer" sewing machine throughout the beginning of my business which makes my work very tedious and slow. When I am able to buy one through the help of the lenders of Zidisha, It is going to make the work easier for me to be able to sow more cloth than usual as compared with that of the manual "singer" machine. I'm looking forward for the generosity of the lenders to help me expand my business, so as to provide my community with the best of service.
Thank you.
