About Me

I am 22 year old man , the first born among 4 kids.
Both parents are small scale farmers on a piece of land my father inherited. The land has been cultivated over and over again and it no longer yields enough .
As a young boy i was very hard working and as a first born, I always want to persevere through all obstacles to be the light among my family.
I completed JHS , saw a friend in the area I live who is a professional tailor and inform him of my intention to learn from him.
Though I had no money to pay for head price before apprenticeship, he obliged to help me.
I'm currently in my 3rd and final year of learning to be a professional Fashionist

My Business

I am a tailor who currently work on small scale at home. Business took a slow start but after the community realized how good I was , evidenced by the materials I have shown for people, many people are patronizing my services.

I want to get a container on a piece of land near our home and fully establish myself.

Loan Proposal

It has not been too long when I started sewing at home after work and it has sky rocketed because of the quality of thing I sow.
I want a loan to purchase accessories for sowing eg. Set of needles, different kinds of buttons , threads and many more to finish the work on me.

Income Source

I earn more than enough in a week to be able to pay off my loan. This would not be a problem.
I also make pastries as a side attraction which also help me earn.
These income sources will cater for the loan even in these covid19 pandemic season.

    I never thought I will be in this state I find myself now but indeed I understand no one knows tomorrow indeed.
    As a new mentor I wanted to finish repaying my loan and be in good standing in the community but how much can I do when the body is not willing.
    I have been hope battling this boil on my scrotum for months now . I cannot sit and sow. I have tried medicine from almost anywhere I find some but...
    Please I will repay my loan but I need to get well and work first.

    Some customers are not paying me on time as scheduled and will affect the amount I've scheduled to repay during loan application.
