About Me

I am Tabiri Kofi, the first born among the three children of my parents. I started my basic education at the Berekum Grace Preparatory and then furthered at the Sunyani Senior High School and then to the University of Cape Coast. At the University, I used to sell some clothes to students to raise money to pay my school fees and hostel fees. After school, I decided to use some of my income to open a clothing shop at my hometown. The people in my community are very hard working and respectful. Children in the community would always want to be Bank managers when they grow. I like watching and playing video games and also reading story books.

My Business

I sell clothes for both men and women at Berekum. These things are very demanding because every individual requires a dress to go to work. I started this business to generate enough funds to support my education and my brother's own too. Currently, one of my younger brothers is at the Senior High School. My cost for every week is around $200 and as at now, my revenue is $600. If I am given the loan, I will reinvest it in the business and use the profit to support my younger brother's education.

Loan Proposal

I will buy clothes with the loan when the loan is given to me. It will cost $240 to buy the clothes. As Christmas is drawing nearer, a lot of people are coming to me to buy clothes for the Christmas. The demand for clothes has increased in my community. Hence I have to meet their needs. This has required for an increase in capital to buy more clothes to sell in my community. People in my community will get clothes to buy from me for the Christmas. That is the first benefit when I am given the loan. The second benefit is there will be an increase in sales which will result in an increase in profit by 60%.

    I really thank my lenders for the loan. I also thank the Zidisha team. I am going to hire a store room for cloth sales. This will help me get a working space to sell cloth.

    First of all, I really thank my lenders and Zidisha team members for my second loan. God bless you all.

    The loan was used to buy cloth to stock my business. The expansion of my stock, indeed, created more sales which resulted in an increase in my profit by 40%. The reason is there have been different kinds of cloth for my customers to choose from. Now, I can boldly say I can always get food for my family and for myself also. The question I always ask is, had it not been for Zidisha, what would be the state of my life now?

    I bought cloth with the loan. The purchased cloth increased my stock. I no longer run out of stock. My sales turnover has increased by 60% which has resulted in 80% profit increment.

    I was able to pay my brother's school fees with the help of the loan. He is in school now. My sales volume increase as I bought new cloth for resale with part of the loan which resulted in an increase in profit by 30%.
