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 $4 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.
