l will use the loan to purchase yarns to produce more colourful pieces of Kente cloth. This will enable me to get my own cloths ready for cash buyers, thereby maximizing profit. Profit currently is around $15 per sale. l expect the profit to increase from $15 to $25 this time after selling the cloths l will produce. l will buy cotton yarns for 40 dollars and rayon yarns for 60 dollars, to produce two different sets of cloths. l will use the loan to buy a new set of yarns to start a new set of colourful Kente-cloth production. This will give me more ready cash, hence the ability to bargain with cash buyers. l am most grateful to the Zidisha team and to the lenders for helping me. Thank you.
