About Me

My name is Rebecca Affum and am 32 years old. I started schooling in Dunkwa-on-offin, Zoin no. 2 Primary school. I was brought to the Capital city of Ghana to further my education but things didn't move on well as expected. My parents relocated from Dunkwa-on-offin which is in the central Region of Ghana which basically in theCentral Region . I finished my Junior high school there in which l was left alone to face the world.
I thought of going into the sale of used dresses . I earn a lot .which really help cover much of my expenses. I usually take the dress to friends who are into sowing to help me the fress in good shape and size .From observations l noticed l was using alot of funds.I decicided to develop instrest ,so l started small atyached to a friend when l need assistance withoout any formal training.

Currently I am a single mother with one child who is schooling now. I love her so much.

My Business

Well as I said earlier on I have the passion for dressmaking. My mother has a sowing machine so that's what I started using I'm my business. I was making some new dresses from the second hand clothing. I realise I can make it a big time business if I have a formal training. My child's father supported in my schooling as a professional dressmaker. After schooling I started make dresses and I was making money but it got to a point where I want to expand my business, things became difficult. I use to sell my products outside the country normally to the United States. This became worse when my husband divorced me. I have been able to build up a working capital for about $2000, I have a large demand but the raw materials to deliver is my challenge. Thank you

Loan Proposal

First and foremost, I'll use this loan to expand my shop.
And then get more clothes for sale cos the demand of my items are high. For instance, if a shirt cost 50ghc, I can sell it for 65ghc making a profit if 15ghc. So I'm sure my business will be a success.
