About Me
I live in a village called sekyere. The distance from my village to the school I attended was not close. I travel for close to 35minutes before reaching the school. There wasnt any means of transportation to the school. I started school at the age of 9. I lived with my aunt. l lost my father at the age of 10. I finished junior high school at 17 years and enrolled on senior high school. There was this man who I helped to take care his pigs. He helped me by way of given one of the pigs as my reward for helping him take care his pigs. Since then, I had an experience and interest in pigs farming.
My Business
I started this pigs farming when someone gave me pig as my gift. I started with only one pig. Now I have 5pigs. I did not find it difficult when I was starting this pig farming because I was having a big land for the fence. with these I can provide the community with pork to those especially who needs it. I chose this business because materials and some basic equipment needed were available. The amount of money invested in this business was about 400$. The profit that may come from this, I will use some for school, another investment and for the expansion of the business.
Loan Proposal
The money will be used beneficial to me in so many ways. I will use the money to expand the business and invest. with these, the number of the pigs may increase as well as the percentage wise. So the percentage may increase to about 70%. The specific feed that I will use the money to buy is wheat and maize flour.
