About Me
My name is Patrick Owusu from Kukuom, a small community in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I started school at New Apostolic Preparatory school, off the kukuom- Goaso road where I had my earlier education training. I proceeded to Mim Senior High School where I sat and passed the West African Senior School Certificate Examination. I did well in the WASSCE but due to financial constraints I could not further again again but with the introduction of distance education programmes and modules, am hope of attaining my degree anytime soon.
I have been involved in pig rearing for some years now. The money i have raised from my pig rearing business has help me completed my education and am eager to even go higher. Is my fervent hope that i expand my frontiers and get funds to buy more pigs and rear them for sales. The road to success is not smooth and am sure with determination i will get there.
My Business
My pig rearing business is progressing gradually and i get money by selling the matured ones and replaced them by younger ones. my business is progressing and I think very soon i would increase the numbers and make more revenue in the sales of these pigs and increase my savings.
The determination, hardwork, perseverance and steadfastness would help me get to the level of most successful entrepreneur.
Loan Proposal
I will use the loan to buy more pigs for my farm. I have reared pigs for so many years running and the revenue from the business is very good and outstanding. I need about 2000 dollars to expand the housing unit in order to house more pigs.
I also need more piglets to rear so that they will grow and increase my revenue.
This is the breakdown or what the money would be used for:
piglets= 500 dollars
sow =500 dollars
Boar = 500 dollars
Maintenance of the housing unit =500 dollars.
The loan when given will double my earnings.
Thank you.
