About Me

My name is Doris Birago Asiedu.I was born on the 1st of August 1985 in Ghana at a village called Abesim in the Brong Ahafo Region.I am the fifth born of my parents.I am a single mother with a handsome son.he is 2years three months old.unfortunately his dad died when I was four months pregnant.anyway that life.death will come when it will come.I want to give the best i can in life to my boy .
I started my primary education in the year 1998 and completed at Sunyani Senior High in the year 2006.I gained an admission to university of Cape Coast to read BEd Man agent and graduated in 2010.
The very thing that makes me happy more is to play with my boy.

My Business

After my national service.I started with selling of cooked food.I did door to door delivery. I used to sell so many kind of our local dishes. I used to sell cloth alongside the food.
Some where last year a friend introduce me to mushroom business and ever since,i have been in this kind of business.It is a very profitable business.very income generating and it is easy to find customers.a lot of our people like mushrooms. Though perishable,demand is always more than supply.ever since I started this business I have able to save higher than what I used to save previously. My son started school this year and his fees was paid by the savings I made.

Loan Proposal

I will use the money to purchase more of the bags of mushroom.I can purchase about 800bags of mushroom with GHS1200. This means profit will keep rising and the business will expand.with 800bags of mushrooms,total sales is expected to increase by GHS 1800.that isn't bad.this means my son will get the best of education I am always dreaming for.

    How are you going Doris?

    It might be helpful to ask if the zidisha team can restart your loan repayments from today instead, so you're not trying to play catchup :-) Can also ask if they can lower your payments :-) You can post a msg here: www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

    Hopefully they'll be able to help organise ways of making it less stressful :-)

    All the best Doris :-) Definitely get in touch with the team to try make things more managable for you :-)
    Warm regards, Emma.

    Hi Doris :-) I just wanted to say not to worry too much that you missed a few payments... Its ok, we still believe in you :-)

    It might make life a little easier to adjust your repayments so they are lower, & hopefully more manageable... If you need help to do that, or have any other questions, the zidisha team can probably help: www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

    I hope life is still making you smile...
    All the best, Emma from Australia.

    Since that was the first time I reinvested the profit from the sales I made.in a way my profit is still growing up since demand is still high.
    My little boy is now in nursery and he is doing great. Thank you my sponsor's.
