About Me
I completed senior High School in the year 2004, coming out of school to face life was quite a complicated situation for me because there was nothing I look onto to survive my daily bread irrespective of the fact I was living with my parents. Coming by money was difficult since my family business broke down as result of natural disaster making home not comfortable to live. Been the first son of my father I had to struggle to be the breadwinner of the family which left me nothing but a street hustler. All these while I was serving as a pupils teacher in about three private schools teaching at the Junior High school level. I still didn’t forget my vision to continue my education to the tertiary level by pursuing my dream to be a professional teacher that I wanted to do all this while. I entered into the mining sector to get an adequate financial freedom to continue my education at the tertiary level. I really pass through the school to ensure I get most of it numerous advantages it has to offer at hand. With hard work and determination I was elected as the main chaplain serving the Christian board wholeheartedly. I came out as professional teacher in the year 2009 teaching. With a lot of mouth to feed, funds raised from teaching were not good enough to fully support the family. With my childhood aim to become an entrepreneur I then establish a photographing industry and to make as wide as I can to fulfil my life career I am now a part time photographer working hardly to meet my life time goals by the grace of Almighty God I will make my dream real lfe situation.
My Business
I have been in the photographing industry for some years now and I really love this work. My work as a photographer has earned me a social status as a result of high quality jobs that I neatly do for the people. This has relieved me from the effects competition in my respective business because I have become the choice everybody looks up to when it comes to photo snapping. My business could have grown bigger than it is now but it is still at the infant level due to inadequate capital to buy the necessary and latest technological machines to deliver work faster and awesome job as I hope to do to still maintain reputation in my respective business which has turn other way round due lack of requisite material to use them. It makes me say that until now I still move from house to house, church to church, school to school to carry out without any formal approach because the greater percentage of what should have been earn by me is given to respective graphic studios to deliver the final work done by me which I lost everything as a result of the monopolistic business here in terms of photo editing. With the aim to get expand my business to achieve it stated goals of getting the required equipment to work to deliver an awesome work to bring what is really in me out and to also establish a graphic studio where formal business activities will be carried out which I hope I will earn as needed because most of the Job done is centered in the office. I will also want to train as many as I can in graphic designing to be my students to help them earn a full time income to reduce the unemployment in the country. Aside I have added farming to my previous work due to the necessary assistance from zidisha.org. These are my business and I love doing it.
Loan Proposal
For past years zidisha.org has been my backbone in all my businesses success. I started with photography work and later added vegetable farm and now adding animal farm. I know God being on my side will reach my destination. Thank you alot and God bless you for helping me to add ANIMAL FARM to my previous work. I wish by three years to come I can employ at least five people to work on my farming project and increase profit margin to about 150%.
