About Me

I was born in Sefwi Anwiaso and come from a family of four. Three sisters and I being the senior most brother. I could only complete Junior High School. My parents were farmers who could not have enough money to expand their farming work and so could not assist me further my education. I decided to learn vulcanising job,that is pumping of car tyres and mendind flat tyres. I completed learning and looked for loan to set up my own shop that now I depend on to feed my family. People in Sefwi Anwiaso are very unique because they dislike bad social habits like stealing, smoking of Indian helm etc even though there might be few ones who may indulge in some of these acts but when apprehended the law takes its course. I have two children now and I wish that they could continue formal education to become good citizens in a society. I have a small barbering shop I visit as a pastime and I love playing drums in church.

My Business

My father is a driver. He happened to be a truck driver. He has been a driver since we were kids. According to my mum, he has been a driver long before he had gotten married to her. During the olden days in my town, there weren't vocalizing shop in my village. As such, my father used to repair his car by himself or day most expecially if it is a minor tyre fault through the assistance of his siblings. As we grew up, we already had the minor knowledge. After I had completed high school, I decided to take up this noble business by stepping into the shoes of my father. I received formal training and now I'm a a full Vocalizer in my village

Loan Proposal

Its been quite a while since I renovate my shop to meet the taste of my buyers. Though I try my best in doing so on several occasions, my financial strength could not take me any far. I therefore need assistance from Zidisha to enable me achieve this purpose the by making my business grow. Thank you.
