About Me
I am Jerry Owusu Amponsah, a Ghanaian. I am From poor village called Anwain in Asunafo south district. My profession is teacher .
My Business
I have established school to help educate the children of my community. We have a student errolment of 110 pupil. I started with with Creshe and now we have reached KG1 , KG2 and BS1 respectively. I charge a little token to buy basic teaching and learning materials and pay the teachers I have employed. Most of the pupils are orphans and therefore unable to pay the school fees which as a result have affected the school inability to purechase the teaching and learning materials and pay the staff too. We lack basic infrastructure like classrooms, liberary, toilet facility, dinning hall, tables and chairs, computer etc and even money to feed the pupils whose parents have died. There are a lot of kids who are at home and who are willing to come to school but because of our lack of modern classrooms and other materials, we are unable to admit them. I have employ six (6) teachers now. Each class have one (1) teacher. The standard in Ghana is that each basic classroom should have at least two(2) teachers but because of our lack of finances , we are unable to employ more teachers. Even those we have employed, it is difficult to pay their allowance.
Loan Proposal
Inadequate chalk in the school has affected teaching and learning and also some of the kids come to school everyday without pencils,drawing books and crayons to learn and this has affected their activities in the classroom so I will use this loan to buy chalks, drawing books, pencils and crayons to help improve teaching and learning in the school
