About Me

The town is typically dominated by poultry farmers. Because I could not have University education it is my prayer that my business should flourish to enable me cater for my children to any level that they desire. I like playing draft and barbering serves as a pastime for me. My home.guys.like poultry farming they buy poultry feed, vitamin A, and other drugs that they use to treat the chicks to prevent disease. At first I like to do poultry farming but later I saw that I can make more money by selling things on poultry.

My Business

I sell general goods most especially poultry feed. As indicated earlier the typical job for the people of Dormaa Ahenkro is poultry. Farmers would want to buy food supplement and drugs for their birds at any point in time therefore very often I had to travel frequently for such items. I first of studied what the people of the land prefer doing and I thought it wise to supply them with what could ease their production of eggs. I make daily sales of ghc300 to ghc350 a day. To buy poultry feed and other supplies I require to raise an amount of GH c15000.I use part of the profit to feed the family and reinvest the remainder into the business.

Loan Proposal

I will buy fish meal($38) corn ($39) vitamin A ($36)feeding trough ($28) wire gause for fencing ($39).

    Thanks once again to my lenders. I wish to inform my lenders that I have been doing well with the loan amount granted for my poultry supply. As at now in my shop,I have bought enough feed such as corn meal,fish meal and commonly bought drug like Vitamin A. Since my encounter with Zidisha, I have seen difference in my trade.This change is attributed to the fact that I m not under pressure to forcibly paying my loan so after a day' s sale,the next day, I get another stock whilst I pay my loan with the smallest amount that will not affect my capital. With the few profits saved, I have acquired a piece of plot where I have started working on to put up another store room for my poultry products. During this easter I made it a surprised to my family that I travelled with them to the nearby Town called Berekum and shopped extensively for them. Back to the house I told them that they should pray for Zidisha to live long so that every year more greater things than what they have experienced come to them. I want to end here with many thanks to my lender.

    Thank you my lenders for this loan amount.I received Ghc540.and I must confess that this loan amount came at the right time when I needed money to buy poultry products. I bought poultry feed,maize,vitamin A and other drugs. I also purchased feeding trough and fish meal. I have been able to serve my customers well and through that I am also going to see a reasonable profit to enable me stock my shop and to expand my business.

    I will buy fish meal, wire gauge for fencing, corn, vitaminA, wheat bran and so on. This is an Xmas season and most of the poultry farmers in town need these items to produce more eggs and birds for the Xmas festivity. This is also the right time for me to take advantage of the season to make money when they should start tripping into my shop for their poultry feeds and drugs. I than my lenders very much for this loan amount that they have granted I am going to make good use of it to making sure that I get some profits to cater for my family as well as expand my business. I also thank the Zidisha team for their hard work and dedication.

    This is the best time for me to get money to buy more goods into my shop. Xmas season like this, people will buy poultry feeds and drugs to feed their layers and broilers for this Xmas festivities.I thank my lenders for their support and I still plead that they continue so that I will finally grow in business as my colleagues have done.
