About Me

Koowusu is my popular name and started schooling at Dunkwa in western region. There are many Dunkwa's in Ghana. Dunkwa on offin, Gomoa Dunkwa and Agona Dunkwa all in central, Wasa Dunkwa in western my place. I had technology studies at GSTS Secondi Takoradi we call it twin city. I did national service at Ntankoful M/A JHS and received appointment as teacher subject to renewal at the end of every year but branded as a pupil teacher (non professional) in Ghana therefore I have began sandwich in education.

My Business

All along my mother sold something and I assist her during vacation by keeping accurate records when I herd multiple income helps and the family recognised and reposed confidence in me and I cherised what they bestowed in me. This simple book keeping has made the shop enlarged. I learnt that the bad writing is always better than the best memory.

Loan Proposal

In Ghana every home Cook's Rice during festivities be it a muslim or christian and any other group. Now Christmas is up coming and sale of rice is the best goods business minded person would want to sell. I will be able to buy and sell 42 single bags of 5kg rice which will also assist me in financial terms and my dream of becoming a professional teacher come through.

    I used to commute from school to house always using taxi but zidisha and my lenders assisted me to rent a room closer to my school which have saved those fares to help my siblings. Thanks.

    I thank all my lenders and zidisha team. I've made enough profit from the sale of rice during the festivities. Going back to school for my last semester has not been a problem.
