About Me

My name is Akuamoah Comfort a lady from Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. I am 30 years of age. I started my basic school in Abesim a town near Sunyani. I also went to Senior High at Berekum secondary school. After senior high school, i went to Sunyani polytechnic. My parents are Mr. Yeboah and madam Kumiwaa. I have two brothers. I am the second born of my parents . I'm married with two kids. It is my dream to go high to make a living so that i can help my husband look after my kids .The food i like best is fufu and my hobbies are watching movies and swimming.

My Business

I started my business after completing school because i learned it in school. I am a seamstress who sew children ,men and women cloths. After completing school i went for one year attachment with some woman in my community before i opened my own shop in which i am now working. I have two apprentices whom i am working with. I manage to sew fifteen cloths everyday which gives me enough profit to take care of my children.

Loan Proposal

My lenders i need an amount of 739 GHS to help me buy materials like stiff,tape measures,thread,needles,cloths,and some new equipment that i used in sewing my cloths.When i get this loan it will increase my profit marging by 60% which will enable me to take good care of my kids and support anyone who needs my help.I promise to repay my loan back on time.thank you.

    I am reducing the amount because I cannot pay the amount due.

      We're so sorry for the delay.

      There's currently a technical glitch preventing us from accessing our MTN account to retrieve and post repayments from borrowers in Ghana. We expect this to be remedied sometime this month; however, we are unable to say exactly when... because it's MTN programmers who have to solve this particular technical issue.

      In the meantime, please be sure to keep a record of the details of your repayment(s), including the date(s) made, the amount(s) repaid, and the Transaction Id. Number(s). It's always a good idea to do this, just in case ever needed.

      It's my understanding that repayments get credited to borrower accounts according to the date paid, not the date posted by the team on the Zidisha website. (Anyone else on the team who happens to see this and who may know anything different about this for Ghana, please let us all know.)

      It's fine--and advisable--to let your lenders know (in general) that you've made payment; however, please don't post details here. Instead, please send the details to the attention of the payment team for your country at "[email protected]".

      Thank you for your patience.

      Kind regards,
      Laurie
      The Zidisha Team

    Thank you my dear lenders for the first loan given to me . It has brought a great development and progress in my sewing business. The profit i gained from my first loan has helped me connect electricity to my shop to help me work in the night. My dear lenders I need extra amount of $460.00 to help buy new electric sewing machine to increase my production. This will cost $280 and more sewing materials which will also cost me $170 so that i can keep sewing more cloths. I want to produce and sell quality cloths to my community and i will also get enough profit. I will repay back my loan from the sale of my cloths and will be on time so my dear lenders help me,thank you.

    My dear lenders, i thank you all for the support you gave me by funding my first loan and also having patience for me whenever i reduced my payment because i had poor sales. The first loan enabled me stop taking materials on credit because I was able to buy and pay for the materials. This helped me to always produce enough goods for my customers, as a result, my work has been successful and I always earn profit. I am able to care properly for my family and also pay my loan regularly. I truly appreciate all my lenders.

    Dear lenders,
    I have earned some interest on the sale of my products. As a result, I am increasing my payment. Thank you.

    I always have to commend my lenders for the support they've offered me. I no longer get materials on credit for my production because now I am able to buy them. This has helped me to curb shortage of produce and, as such, I usually have money and I am able to care properly for my family. Thank you, lenders.

    I'm reducing my payment now, but I will increase it again very soon.

    After I received support from my lenders, my production increased because I was able to buy more material. As a result, I have earned some interest from the sale of my clothes, so I am adjusting my payment upward.
