Serwaa Monica is my name and I am from Tepa in the Asunaafo north district of Ghana. I am a young independent seamstress. I am senior high school graduate from Tepa Senior High school (SHS). I am a Christian and fellowship with Presbyterian church,Tepa Central branch. I am the only child of my family. I was quite brilliant in class but unfortunately for me, my mother doesn't work and my father passed away some 14 years ago. I live on my own and have work as shop keep to a neighbor for about 3 years after my High school education to save some money for my future.
Since I wasn't having money to proceed to study professional fashion in university, I learn it from my boss lady as an apprentice. I study this sewing job for 3 years and finally graduated.
I graduated from my apprenticeship in December 2014. But since rising of capital to start my own business was little problem for me because of my poor financial background, I started working in front of my house under a canopy till about 3 months ago that i was able to rent a store room from the savings I have made ever since I graduated from the apprenticeship. I have a lot I need to buy for my new shop, but I don't have enough money for that. I however approached a friend and she introduced me to zidisha.
I would be very grateful if you can assist me like you have done to many people in order to help my business grow. Thank you very much for rising funds for people like us. God bless all the lenders....
I was to purchase new polyesters and materials to make new cloths for my customers. I believe by so doing, I can gain some profit from the materials and the polyesters I will sell to my customers. In this case, I can gain profit from the sale and the sewing of the cloths to my dear customers. This will go a high way of raising my profit margin for me to expand my business and taking good care of myself. I can also save enough money to pay back the loan I am taking every week.
I believe, if I am granted a loan of $150, I can get 20 pieces of polyesters and material cloths that will raise my profit margin by 20%. Please kindly help me to build my business as you have been always doing to poor people like me. Thank you lenders and zidisha. God bless you all
