I am Victoria Abban, born on the 19th of February 1985 to Mr. Paul Odikro and Madam Comfort Odikro, all from Hohoe in the Volta region of Ghana. I attended St. Peter's Nursery and Primary School and continued to St. Peter's Junior High School and completed in 2004.
After my junior high school I proceeded to attend Tema Technical School, where I obtained a certificate in fashion designing. After school, I joined a group of fashion designers to learn more and improve my sewing skills. I did work with this group for two years to acquire more knowledge.
From there, I worked with a company that sews for exportations and in the process of working for this company is how I met my husband, Justice Abban.
Currently, I operate on my own in an advantageous environment that attracts a steady number of people in the fashion [fraternity?]. My shop is located at Ashaiman New town, opposite an ashfoam mattress and cushion depot. This shop is located about a 30-minute drive from where I live at Tema community 8. I chose this location because I get a lot of people that pass by my shop to have look at some of my products.
I do have a lot customers that still follow me from where I use work at Tema to my new shop, but the situation at hand does not permit me to work like I used to do because the electricity power to work with is not available.
I also need a show room to showcase some of my finished products to Ghanaians and natives of other countries in the community.
I will buy electrical cables, switchs, lump holders, metre and metre board when I get assistance from lenders.
I will also create a show room to exhibit my finished products to the people in my community and Native from other countries.
My business will do extra well if am able to get electricity power and show room for my shop.
I will buy (1) electricity cables =200dollars (2)metre=300dollars (3)main switch =100dollars (4)metre board =20dollars (5)bulbs 20dollars (6)bulb holders =20dollars (7)labour= 70dollars.
I expert my business to rise by 35percent in terms of revenue generation as compare to the time I was not having electricity power.
I will use my income reinvest into the business and also train persons interested to be become fashion designers.
