About Me
I am a mother of two. My teachers love me not because I was brilliant but because of my sporting activities. Soon after my Jss, I went to learn seamstressing and got pregnant during the trade. I could not therefore finished to establish myself with that. Currently I am a single parent of two without any meaningful job. My first born is in Technical university and I have to take care of him as a single parent. The second born is also in her first year SHS. I sell vegetables and because I am a single parent, I also farm in addition to help my family.
My Business
Vegetables are not that common at Sawaba where I stay. Most of the farmers grow maize, cassava, plantain etc but they do not cultivate vegetables in and around where I stay and because of that I decided to start vegetable selling business. Every week I travel to Techiman where vegetables are very cheap to buy these vegetables and come and sell. This business has helped people to get fresh ingredients for their dishes. I use the profit I make to support my children education.
Loan Proposal
Tomatoes which is the main vegetable which I sell is still out of season so I will buy more vegetables from a distance source. The near sources are expensive and do not give much profit margin. I will want to travel a bit farer where I can buy many boxes of tomatoes at a time to come and sell.
