About Me

I am Mary Adjei, a seamstress madam and I am 33years old. I have 12 years experience in this business. Currently, I stay in Accra with my husband and a mother of three.

My Business

My seamstress business is owned by me and it is a medium business enterprise with two apprentices learning trade.

Loan Proposal

This loan will be used
1. To buy new and modern sewing machines to enable me add new technology to my sewing business.
2. After the machines have finally been bought more girls would be trained as entrepreneurs to also enable them create more jobs in the near future.
3. To renovate and expand the place to make it look more attractive to new customers.

Income Source

I have a small business which runs alongside my sewing business and this fetches me money. Also, my husband is a salary worker and he also supports me every week in the payment of the loan. With all this support I will be able to pay the loan coming weeks.

    I am happy that my lovely lenders have started contributing for this worthy cause of gradually establishing an entrepreneurial centre to train young and upcoming girls. This will help in the near future reduce high rate of unemployment in my country Ghana.

    Thanks for your support.

    Good afternoon my lovely lenders,
    I appreciate all that you're doing to help expand my business and gradually in the process of setting up an entrepreneurial centre to train young girls in the area of sewing. Without you lending I would not be able to setup an entrepreneurial centre to help these young girls create jobs for themselves and the country as a whole. Therefore, I am pleading to those who have not lent to come and lend for this worthy cause. Thanks for your support and may God bless you all.
