About Me

I am a teacher with an unemployed wife and two children to take care of. I must look for other sources of income to supplement my income in order to be able to take care of the needs of my family.

My first child who is a journalism student who commutes daily between Dodowa and Accra for school and this makes life very very uneasy.

My Business

I do photography as a part-time job to supplement my income. My camera is not strong enough to take very good pictures on many occasions, and my clients do complain a lot about my picture quality.

I need to have a better camera to aid my business, and also go ahead and acquire a video camera so that I can expand the scope of my business.

I want to introduce my small boy into the business so he can also learn the need to make extra income to support the family.

Loan Proposal

Apart from part-time photography, I also register candidates for WAEC's [West African Examinations Council] private exams. This business is seasonal (that is, from February to May each year). I have been using a borrowed printer and scanner for the job over the years, and now I want to acquire my own tools for the job. This the purpose of the loan. Together, the two gadgets would cost $340.00.

During these period I get enough from the fees I charge candidates who register for the exams to cushion my life and my family. The society also benefits because I am the only person who does this job in Dodowa and prospective candidates are saved from travelling all the way to Madina to register.

    I am really sorry about this and i feel ashamed about it. I shall surely finish repaying the loan at the scheduled time it supposed to end. That's a promise!

    Very very sorry for defaulting in my loan repayment since November 20, 2016. Things are a bit tight now financially, but I strongly promise to complete my loan repayment on the appointed time of January 20, 2017.

    My daughter's daily remittance for school was covered fully last semester by the loan I took. This semester has began and I am hoping to engage in WAEC private exams registration to earn some more income to cater for her this time around.

    I did find out from Ezekiel Sogbodjor why he has defaulted in his loan loan repayment for 37 days now and he promised to continue repayment next week.
    He explained that he had some financial challenges with his clients but things have now eased up so he will continue the loan repayment

    I am very very grateful to my lenders for their timely intervention to enable me have my daughter's full fees for the next academic year which begins in the next two weeks. I had nowhere to go for this top-up and you have saved me so much.
    Thank you all.

    I wish to show my appreciation to my lenders for helping me out when I needed to ensure that my daughter goes to school everyday.
    The amount I received is placed at her disposal so she could complete the rest of the semester on the 19th of May, 2015.
    I have my peace of mind now because my lenders bailed me out. I am very grateful

    The amount I got fell far short of what I needed to acquire a new camera. However, I used what i got to repair my motorbike which had broken down. It helps me a lot in my rounds as i do business.
    I thank my lenders so very much for their support. I appreciate this good gestures from them.

    I thank my lenders so much for the great support they offered me.
    I needed a larger amount to enable me buy a better camera, but i got less than i was expecting.
    However, what i got enabled me to buy a spare part for my motorbike which had broken down. This motorbike helps a lot in my rounds as i move about lot. I have been punctual at events because of the bike and so has enable me to have more photos to take for more profits.
    I am glad i am able to save to repay my loan regularly.
