About Me
Meshach Adjei Okyere is my name. I am 30 years old from Apam in the central region of Ghana.
I was raised from a large family size of 16 siblings. My father was a chief fisherman and had more than a single wife. My mother was the fist but he had four extra wives who lived in he same compound house.
My father was not a lover of education since he needed his children especially the boys to help him at sea.
His famous quotes was " why should I employ people to work for me and pay them while I have men t home".
Notwithstanding through the effort of my mom I managed to get Junior High School education but with some risk.
Either I am late for school because my father's boat has arrived from sea or right after school I have to go to the sea shore and work.
I completed JHS and my dad said it enough he is giving out a boat to me but I will have to learn from senior fishermen before it becomes mine. I told him I want to go to SHS and further my education but he said not a dime of his money will go to that waste!
Fast forward through challenging moment my mom assisted I managed to complete Shs with good results.
I did business and right after school I entered into the field very eager to make difference.
I currently own a hardware shop where I sell building materials.
My Business
I sell building materials of all types in my shop for the past 5 years now.
My shop is part of only three shops in the area that sell building materials.
I have two sales agent who help me sell and 4 labourers who help in off loading bags of cement and other goods from the truck.
Project Proposal
I am a dealer in building materials of all kind and types.
I've been in business for sometime and want to get additional store to sell small materials door hinges, keys,loover blades and many more.
A friend introduced me and hope I will be able to raise the capital to invest into my business.
