About Me

I was born in a village at the upper west region where my family resides,there i had my basic and secondary education in the upper west region of Ghana .
I decided to move to Accra to continue my education not only that there aren't universities in the upper regions where i can study, but it is a means of at least detaching myself from some culture that doesn't promote the aspirations for higher learning in my village , where as a youth you only can give excuses to marriage up to your completion of secondary education, and i want to build my life beyond that standard the community had set for young adults.
In Accra i made some little saving towards my education by working as a sales boy in cloth selling at Tudu and as such was able to get admitted into the university of Ghana in 2013
It is my dream that i go back to my home town after my education so that i will aid other youth who has similar ideas to forging for higher education will make it .

My Business

my determination to continue education beyond the set standard back in my village is all about me wanting to inspire others, especially my own siblings out of whom i hardly get support from my parents.
From a large family depending on subsistence farming , parental attention is all geared towards meal provision at the expense of education,hence my current situation in need of support in my education.
my only means of support up to this level in my tertiary education is from my employer at the clothing business to whom i still offer my service on weekends and on my free periods.
out of these little efforts that i have been making , i am certain any extra help such as this loan will ease the stress in me nerve and also to be able to use my free periods for studies, thus offering my services only during the weekend.
I need support from willing heart to bring my dream to reality as it is now hard for me to provide for my self and educational needs hence all my life efforts is now focused of attaining my first degree in education.

Loan Proposal

As has been my primary aim , all my life up to now is geared to making me go beyond the set standard in education at my village and therefore upon access to this loan i will first make sure i get the right stationery and require books for the semester as well as all academic charges paid, this will give me the assurance that i am set and fit to stay in school.
This loan will do me that relief as it will rescue me from these charges and also equip my library for this semester. It will give me a head start in my academics as i used to delay in settling for studies previously due to these financial constraints.
I will use this loan to settle in full my fees for the next two semesters as school reopens in August this year with supplement from my little savings this vacation.
It is your support that has brought me this far and i still count on you to help me in its full actualization.
I am glad you have been of help to me !
