I am Peter,36 years from Liberia but living in Ghana refugees camp due to the massive civil war which held in Liberia some years back...during 89-90..... I fled to Ghana in 2003....I have lived all my life in central region Gomoa,Buduburam which is a refugees camp in Ghana it was established in 1990......I was 18-19 Years when I fled to Ghana as I lost both parents during the civil war in Liberia .
I continued my Education in the refugees camp under the help of some foreign volunteers....
I am a High School graduate with qualifications and I enter to university...hmmm unfortunately due to financial help I was dropped out by the School Administration and that's where I lost my Education but as at now I can proudly say that I am no more refugees because I have all documentations prove as naturalize Ghanaian.
Currently I have established my new life with Ghanaian lady together with our two daughters here in Bechem Ahafo region,Ghana ,which has taken me far from the refugees camp and my status as refugees has been changed as I can proudly call myself a Ghanaian.
Life has been challenging for ages but now I am self Employed,into buying and selling of second hand use mobile phones and brand New Mobile phones ...and this has been a lot of help to me and my Little family of four...my wife and two daughters are all doing well and happy with what we have.
Am a mobile phones seller.....I Purchase Mobile phones from wholesale shop and sell them instantly on road side at Traffic Light....Normally I sell 2-3 phones per day......maximum 4 phones depending on how many phones I am able to purchase from the wholesale SHOP...So business requires a lot money in order for me to be able to buy more phones to sell and earn more money as the more I purchase.... The more I sell.... The more I earn.
Gradually my dream is to open m my personal wholesale shop in the near future with the help Zidisha is giving me.
I have been always using the loan lenders lend me to purchase Brand new Mobile phones and accessories to sell in traffic lights.... Moreover in Africa here and especially Ghana majority of Drivers and Pedestrians find it difficult to go to the Market to buy what they want so many peoples do buy and sell instantky under traffic lights .
Many thanks to Zidisha as it has been a lot of help to me and my family ...I can proudly say I always pay my loan before time 100% without failure....Thanks to Zidisha lenders when ever they lend me I am able to buy goods and sell the same day and pay back full my loan lenders always lend me....so gradually I am looking forward to grow my business by taking a loan and open my own personal shop
Corona is real and many peoples have suffered and lost their precious life from this deadly pandemic virus so I always put measures in place...always use nose mask and wash my hands frequently with hand sanitizer and more over social distance
