About Me

I am the second born of a family of four. I started my education at the Berekum Grace preparatory school in Berekum. From Grace, I moved to Osei Tutu Senior High School to further my education. After my senior High education, I have not been able to further to the university due to financial difficulties. I then begun to manufacture and sell beauty products, fresh yoghurt and now medicated soaps. I have engaged myself in selling cosmetic products over the years. My people are very unique in their humility and respect for all. I like ready news and playing football. It is the dream of almost every child in my community to become a Doctor.

My Business

My business is a sole proprietorship type of business that deals in the manufacture of liquid soap and fresh yoghurt. I manufacture quality products with less expensive prices. People demand my products because the make the soap has very powerful cleansing ability and also contains chemicals essential for protecting your skin. The yoghurt also provide essential nutrients, boost the immune system and also helps the lactose intolerant. I started this type of business to help me and my sibling in our education. The money I make from this business has helped my family a lot. It has helped me paid for the fees of my siblings and taken care of other expenses. I want to manufacture more useful products to serve my people.

Loan Proposal

When I am given this loan, I will use some to buy more equipment, chemicals, bottles and also hire a tricycle commonly called motor King in Ghana to distribute my products. These products are for the protection of the skin and promotion of healthy growth. These include fresh yoghurt, hair and skin body ointment, cream, pomade, liquid soap and medicated soap. The yoghurt has been manufactured to help the lactose intolerant, boost immune system and also provide the body essential nutrients. The pomade has been made of ingredients that protect the skin cells and also soften the skin. The ointment promotes quick and healthy hair growth, helps control dandruff, helps relieve scalp itch and treat eczema and shingles. The cream is for the relieve of joint and mascular pains. The chemicals and bottles will cost around $150. Hiring of the motor King would also cost around $100.
I wish to expand the business to the nearby villages to enable them gain access to these quality products. This is why I have decided to hire a motor king to do the distribution. Please kindly assist me in expanding my business and also distribution of my products. Thank you.

    Hello,
    What's wrong at Zidisha????.
    I made my final payment on the 15th March, 2016. The payment reflected on the 16th of March, 2016 and I requested for my next loan.
    I checked back on the 18th and realized that the payment of GHS 156 has been deleted from my page and also the loan application has been deleted too.
    The loan was 12% funded but now, my dashboard states that I should invite more people instead of the loan progress.
    I also, cannot find my loan application page when I click on "projects" on the top of the website.
    Please kindly assist.

        Thanks for the tip but after the payment reflected, my loan proposal couldn't appear. My 12% has also been lost. Will I have it back or it has to begin from 0%. Thank you.

      Thanks Michael. I suggest you have eight days between your last to payments. The calculations as to whether you will be able to increase the size of your loan seems to look at the time that you make the payment.... Unfortunately, the details we are shown do not include this (time).

      Good luck.

    Dear lenders,
    I have been able to buy more chemicals and equipment for the detergent production. I bought more soap base, fragrance and a new ingredient, vitamin E for skin protection.
    The loan is really helping me increase production.
    Thank you.

    Thank you lenders for the money. I received GHS 377. I am sorry I couldn't inform you earlier. I hope my apology is accepted.
    I have started using the money. I have bought some ingredients for my drink and detergent production and made a GHS 30 payment. Thank you.
