About Me
Am Rita Sefah from Ghana.And the second born of my parents. Hmmm,life from infancy has not been easy but through Gods grace am still pushing forward. I only can to see my mother because I lent that through poverty daddy lost his dear life.He was sick and cud not get medical assistance and as a result he lost his life.As am say daddy was the backbone of the family and the bread winner and as he is no more there, life became very had,beyond living standard.Educational was something I cherish much but cudnt make it to the highest level because no one was there to push me through.One day,a woman from the city came to the village to tell me how the city life was.I decided to follow her to the city to experience the city life by myself but when I got there it wasn't as easy as how she was saying. I used to sell her goods for her.I go to the market places selling her stuff for her.And even what to eat and sleep was a problem. I met a sister and she introduced me to a business ie is provision selling and through Gods grace that has been my business ever since.The unique thing about my area is the Kwahu festival which attracts millions of people to the place all over from the world. I pray that my children does not come to pass through the hardship I went,there fore am streaching hard to break the backbone of poverty from my life and i know through the help and interaction of Zidisha,it will come to pass soon.A past time I remember was stelling from the soup and I was beaten by my mum one day.hahahahaaa
My Business
Please I operate a mini snack shop which attract workers during the lunch hour in my small village. My service is very needful and crucial because during the afternoon time no food is been found at the place to serve them during that hour,and my snack shop serves as the only rescue food joint for them.This always increase the demand of my service always which affect my profit margin in the positive way. I normally use the profit to reinvest into the business to widen it.And with the help of Zidisha family, it will improve. Thank you.
