About Me

I am a mother of two. My teachers love me not because I was brilliant but because of my sporting activities. Soon after my Jss, I went to learn seamstressing and got pregnant during the trade. I could not therefore finished to establish myself with that. Currently I am a single parent of two without any meaningful job. My first born is in Technical university and I have to take care of him as a single parent. The second born is also in her first year SHS. I sell vegetables and because I am a single parent, I also farm in addition to help my family.

My Business

Vegetables are not that common at Sawaba where I stay. Most of the farmers grow maize, cassava, plantain etc but they do not cultivate vegetables in and around where I stay and because of that I decided to start vegetable selling business. Every week I travel to Techiman where vegetables are very cheap to buy these vegetables and come and sell. This business has helped people to get fresh ingredients for their dishes. I use the profit I make to support my children education.

Loan Proposal

I have planned to use this loan to put up more sheds across my community and employ more girls in the community to do the daily sales and get paid.
These sheds will be used in the storage produced purchased from farmers while being sold to my customers

This loan was originally scheduled to take two months and was paid off in a three and a half months. Updates on the discussion page explained the delay. Thank you for completing your payments.
