About Me

I am a mother and a health assistant. I did business at the Bechem Senior High School and currently a health assistant by profession. To achieve my current aim by teaching and training the needy I had to work very hard as a health assistant at the Hospital. Before I started this program, I had to save part of my salary. I love my people so I want to help them live a better life. I started this voluntary work in 2015 when I realised life was so difficult for some of the women in my area. Paying for their children's school fees was a problem. Feeding them too was also another problem they needed to overcome. The people of Berekum are kind, creative,innovative and humble. Almost every child in Berekum would like to become either an engineer or a medical doctor.

My Business

I am a Dental Assistant but I also manufacture liquid detergent and also teach the unemployed women production of certain items so that thy can also feed themselves. What I do is very important and beneficial to my community because it helps the women also learn something new and then convert them to useful products that can be sold for them to earn something. In fact, most of these suffer before they can even get a food to eat. I chose to teach them so that they can also get money ti feed themselves and their families. For every meeting, I spend close to $50. In a month, we meet twice. When I am given the loan, I want to buy equipment and also hire a team to continue with the outreach smoothly. Thank you

Loan Proposal

When I am given this loan, I will use the money to buy ingredients, bottles and equipment which will be used to continue the training programme at a different area. I will buy more chemicals and continue to hire more personnel with skills to train many people. The items would cost about $100. Please I would appreciate it if you would help me so that I also train these people to at least get something on their tables. Thank you.
