About Me

My late father was a cocoa farmer who married two wives, my mother being the second wife and herself also a farmer. In all, my father has twelve children, I being the ninth of my father and the fourth by my mother. Living in such a family, me and my siblings did not have life easy, education was not a necessity, but rather farming and helping our parent is the priority.
After my elementary education, I was given the option by my late father to either be with him and farm or join my grandfather to learn trade. I joined my grandfather, where I learned fashion and designing, a profession a have being practicing till today

My Business

My business is Fashion and designing. I have a shop and three sewing machines. I sew for individuals, Churches, Corporate organisations etc.
With the government new policy of local wear in offices, there is high demand for our goods and services (Sewing)
Currently, i have two apprentices and one employee (work and pay). I am able to sew averagely 54 attires for both male and female dresses a week.
Acquiring a new machine, I can do more, then by earning more profit, hence my interest in Zidisha loan. I can make four hundred Ghana cedis monthly. By doing this I can successful pay my ward's school fees and pay the bills of my dependents.

Loan Proposal

For the high demand for my services I intend to buy additional designer sewing machine, and also purchase wax print materials for my sewing business.
1. Designer sewing machine @ $ 370
2. Purchase of variety of wax print materials @ $ 420
3. Payment of annual rent for my shop @ $350
4. Purchase of sewing accessories $150
In all a total of $ 1290 needed for my next projects.
Hoping that the good, lovely and caring lenders on the Zidisha platform would lend to me again

    Vincent repaid his loan on time and two months ahead of schedule. He also provides frequent updates. It was a pleasure to loan to him and I would do it again.
