About Me

I am a mother of two. My teachers love me not because I was brilliant but because of my sporting activities. Soon after my Jss, I went to learn seamstressing and got pregnant during the trade. I could not therefore finished to establish myself with that. Currently I am a single parent of two without any meaningful job. My first born is in Technical university and I have to take care of him as a single parent. The second born is also in her first year SHS. I sell vegetables and because I am a single parent, I also farm in addition to help my family.

My Business

Vegetables are not that common at Sawaba where I stay. Most of the farmers grow maize, cassava, plantain etc but they do not cultivate vegetables in and around where I stay and because of that I decided to start vegetable selling business. Every week I travel to Techiman where vegetables are very cheap to buy these vegetables and come and sell. This business has helped people to get fresh ingredients for their dishes. I use the profit I make to support my children education.

Loan Proposal

If by God's grace am able to get this loan, I will buy wood, nails and roofing sheets which will cost about $100 and get a carpenter to put up a nice store for me. Currently where I am selling these vegetables is not good especially during the rainy and the sunny weathers. If am able to put up this store I will be safe from the scorching sun and the rainy days. Also having a nice store will attract more buyers and this will increase my profit up to maybe 30-40%
