My name is Sekeena Yamoah . I come from Sunyani, the regional capital of Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. My parents are late now Iiving behind three siblings of which I happened to be the eldest with much more greater responsibilities.
I started selling at a tender age of seven. Though I didn’t want it that way, my late parents wanted me to learn how I will fend for my self. In future. So when my education and dream to be a teacher didn’t push through, I was giving $400 to sell cloths. I begun this business in a small store room in the centre of our town. Business wasn’t easy at the initial stages since I hard a lot of competitors that time. But I was able to go through this situation through my “never give up” spirit I have. Now, many people visits my shop everyday. Now, this business of yesterday has become the back bone of my family. Through this business, I take care of my sibling education and their basic needs. Personally, I am able to put food on the table and buy my personal needs. I also donates money to the poor and needy in my church. I do all these things with the weekly profit I get from my business.
I want to include the sales of locally manufactured cloths for both domestic and traditional purposes. These items are of high demand especially in traditional religious festivals in my town and its surrounding villages. My profit will grow rapidly with this line of business.
