About Me

Yeboah Kwaku Jonas is my name. Nyamefie in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana is my hometown. Bonna JHS was the basic school I attended and moved to the Berekum Senior High school. I am a photographer and a farmer. I entered into these business of photography and farming to help me cater for my education. Coming from a family of six children and knowing how difficult my parents lived to care for our basic education ,I decided to start my own business after discovering the need to work hard to cater for my higher education. People in my locality are friendly and mostly welcome visitors. The yam festival is what is celebrated in my locality My children want to become teachers . My hobby is photo editing

My Business

Photography and and vegetable farming are the servives i provide. People from my community invite me to render services to them during their weddings, naming ceremonies ,festivals,graduations and etc daily. I also provide vegetables and some cereals which serves my family and is also sold to my community. I choose this business due to the fact that celebrations never ceases and keeps coming daily. Vegetables are also in higher demands daily in my community. It costed me 800$ to begin the business and revenue was through the help of my loyal Zidisha Lenders. The profit is used in organizing recreational activities for children and paying my loyal lenders the loan I took from them

Loan Proposal

The pattern for the rainfall has totally changed in my country especially my locality. It didn't rain as supposed to. I would want to purchase Maize to store so that when Maize is out of season I can provide enough food for my family and also sell some for profit. Banku one of our local dish is of interest to many in my locality. I will be hiring someone to help in preparing such a delicious local dish made of Maize and sell it to students of the two universities in my community. Indeed I will get profit in as much as getting Food to feed my family.

    I used my loan in purchasing a video camera. The camera was used during weddings and various outdoor programs. Daily in my community I am invited to capture a program or invited to a different community as the camera man. I have been making twice my profit in recent time. I have been able to buy a digital photography camera addition to the video camera. My junior brother who completed his high school this year has been employed into my business. My profit has enabled me even organized games for my community young guys. I spoke to them on the need to take their education seriously

    I wish to reduce my payment to 50 Ghana cedis. The reduction is as a result of lack of getting contracts in the photography business due to the passing away of Christmas. I hope in the upcoming months, business will rise

    Great things has Zidisha done for me. I used the money given me to buy Maize during the Maize cropping season. I keep preparing a favorite local dish known in my locality as banku and sell it to people. As my best meal, my family also depend on the same meal. Because I bought the Maize during the cropping season, I was able to buy it cheaper. Due to the bad weather condition in my country, farmers who wanted to plant the later Maize in the year couldn't make proper yield. The stock of Maize I bought has now become very expensive. I now 50% extral profit on each bag of Maize sold. My increase earnings to rent a new room for my sister's who are helping me with my business. In fact my sisters who are helping me with my business have graduated from the higher school with excellent grades. I am happy for them. Come to my place every Friday and enjoy thank God it is Friday. This is when families meet together and enjoy themselves with varieties of games and other entertainment programs.

    I purchased a laptop with the loan given me. The laptop helped me to keep inventory of my books. I was able to detect books running out of stock and replaced them before they run out of the stock. I was able to almost double my profit. I have been able to pay my rent. Students are on vacation in my neighborhood and we have been meeting for recreation activities.
