About Me

My story is a little complex because I experienced moments of joy but also difficult moments. I was raised by my grandmother in conditions of poverty. To make me happy, my grandmother was selling just fruits in front of the house where we lived and I continued my school. We were happy and the other members of the family often visited us. One day my grandmother going out of the toilet felt a discomfort and this is the beginning of an illness that will last a long time. Faced with this situation, she could not go out to sell the fruit and it is at this moment that the problems really started because they did not eat any more. It was at this moment that I began to do all the work that I found for my food and that of my great mother. Today, with my savings I opened a small shop selling phone accessories.

My Business

The activity that allows me to make money is the sale of phone accessories. I have been doing this job for five years and I am very happy. I pay phones chargers to 2GHS and I resell at 3 or 4GHS. This is just an example of what I do as I sell several phone accessories. In addition to the accessories, I pay the old phones to resell. With this trade I manage to take care of my grandmother without forgetting my own needs. In the future I intend to expand the store with a great variety of items in order to have many customers. If I succeed in carrying out this project, I will be able to pay for the education of my nephew whose parents also do not have enough resources. I chose this trade because a large majority of the population uses the mobile phone and one always needs accessories. Also, I learned to repair phones, which made my a much sought after.

Loan Proposal

With this loan, I want to add other items to my mobile phone accessories store. These items will be chargers, headphones, laptop batteries. I want to do this because the customers ask a lot and I do not have enough to satisfy their needs. I also want to walk through the city to go to the customers and offer them the things I sell by explaining the reliability of my things I sell. If time allows me, there is a possibility for me to go to the villages for sale as well. I think these strategies will allow me to sell a lot of things in such a short time. This job has a lot of advantage because I can earn 10 dollars a day as a profit. These profits give me the opportunity to insure the expenses in my family and pay for my cousin ten years. I am very happy for this work and I will be even more pleased when I will have the support of zidisha to financially strengthen my field of activity. I remain available for any suggestions from anybody to guarantee me a better future. thank you everyone.
