I am Pheona Mansah , a self-employed person in the Berekum community. I am in a family of four and I am the second born among my siblings. I started in a humble beginning, because my parents were living in harmony until the time that my father, whose name is Tabiri Godred, decided to have another wife [divorced] my mother. The step-mother multreated us I mean me and my siblings I completed school prematurely and I did not even complete secondary education.
I stayed with my mother till I reached eighteen years of age. At eighteen I decided to learn hair making, . I It took me some few years to learn it. With the help of God I am a proud owner of a small hair making SALOON and BEAUTY center. I apprentices under me.
My BEAUTY SALOON deals in perming of hair, plating of hair and other things. I have some apprentice that I am training because a friend trained me and I am now doing some work for a living. Now my mum is depending on me and some of my siblings too. My aim is to help my neighbors and other [people] to learn my job. Within a week, I earn about 90 USD weekly. I use some of this to purchase some perming cream and some tools useful in the job. I use some to feed my family and give some to my workers each day as they work.
I will use my first loan to settle my first zidisha loan. I will use it to make on time regular payments in order to gain lenders trust to have access to bigger loan. This because my first loan is too small to be invested into my type of business. As soon as I am entrusted with something bigger than this I will quickly invest it. Thank you.
