About Me

I am called Afrah Monica. I was born on the 10/ 11//1987 by Mr & Mrs Afrah who are both peasants farmers. They grow crops such as maize, groundnuts, millet and plantation. I have four siblings of whom only two had some basic education. My parents were financially handicaped so I could not continue my education. I then entered into by selling stationeries. I am blessed with two lovely kids. Unfortunately, my husband died two years ago through a motor accident. I use the little savings I make from my stationeries shop to take care of my children. It is my hope to educate my children to become medical doctors in the future so that, they could take care of me when I am old. I like watching films when I am free.

My Business

My dear lenders, life became unbearable after the untimely death of my husband. Taking care of my children was not an easy task. With the help of my parents, I established small shop where I sell stationeries. I sell to the school children. I chose this business because many schools were located in my locality and patronage was high. This business also fetch me daily sales which I use to cater my children. My lenders, I will pay the loan with sales from my stationery shop.

Loan Proposal

Hello my lenders, as I have stated earlier, I am a trained typist and as a young energetic Lady, I want to become self employed to avoid a situation where I have to move from one organization to another looking for non existing job. With this loan, my lenders, I will set up my Secretariat office to provide services to the people in the community. Setting up the office involves purchasing the following items:
Typewriter (slightly used one)=$60
A4 paper=$40
Slightly used photocopier machine=$100
Please lenders, I am looking forward for your assistance once again . Thank you

    With the help of the loan, I was able to pass through the formal processes leading to the acquisition of my license and now left with the final stage. I hope my next loan will enable me to get and set up NY own secretariat office.
