I was born in a small town called Kofiasuah near Dormaa Ahenkro in the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. We were family of seven. Due to financial difficulties I could not have University education. I managed to complete Senior High School. I went into apprenticeship by learning carpentry. Dormaa Ahenkro is a very busy town whose natives are very hardworking.The major occupation here is poultry farming. They supply eggs to every part of the country. My children have always been promising me to study hard to climb the academic ladder so as to be good citizens to the larger society. I have the store for which happens to be my major business centre but I do the carpentry job alongside. I like playing football a lot.
In my shop you can obtain everything that is used in a building. Some of these items include lavatory equipment, underground pipes ceiling button and many others. There are many Government building projects and individual building projects in and arround the municipality hence there is always the demand for these items every now and then people are looking for plumbing materials as well as lavatory items to fix in their new homes and in old home where some of there items are dilapidated the come to buy new ones for replacement. I had learnt carpentry so I preferred going into business that involves building materials so that whenever I am engaged in any contract I could use the opportunity to market my items.
I want to buy another set of lavatory items at $60, pipe borne equipment for replacements at $35, solitape at $25 and glue at $36. If these items are bought, I will be able to serve the need of my customers and I will also make some profits. It is my hope that if I am able to acquire these items could increase my profits to about 85%.
