About Me

Cephus Addo is my name. I am 21 years old. I come from Dolzo, in the Volta region. I currently reside at Mempeasem, East Legon. I am the first of five children. I migrated from my village to Accra, the capital city when i completed senior high school. all my life I have had to work hard to support my mother and siblings.

My mother currently farms, but she is getting older and weaker. she is not as strong as she used to be. I currently work two jobs to help my mother take care of younger siblings. It hasn't been easy. By day I work as a factory hand and double as a security guard at night. I get two days off in a week, so I get a little rest, but I am always tired.

My family means a lot to me. My father passed when I was very young. I have only seen pictures of him and what my mother tells me about him. My other siblings have fathers, but they are hardly around.

I am very passionate about agriculture. I have lived a greater part of my life in the village and I would love to one day manage my mothers farm, but right now my main concern is to see my younger siblings through school, at least to senior high level.

Eventually, I would like to take my mother's farm to the next level. I want to make make it a substantial source of income for my family. I get by with the little I make,
but my family deserves better. I will do all I can within my power to make them Happy.

Loan Proposal

If my loan request is approved and funded, it would be a great push to help send my two younger siblings to school. I have been saving for the past six months. The loan amount with my savings will be able to:
1. Pay half of the fees for both siblings
2. Purchase the remaining school supplies like student mattresses, mosquito nets and
some text books.
3. Provide enough pocket money for my siblings.

I love my siblings very much and as the oldest son, it falls on me, to make sure my siblings get the best possible education I can give them. I want them to have the opportunities I couldn't have. Please help me give my siblings a better and brighter future. Thank you.
