I am Akwan Kingsford son of Mr and Mrs Kingsford. I Was brought up by hard working parents in a small village called koraaso.I grew up with 3brothers 2sisters.my parents were though hardworkers but life wasn't easy.my parents sent me to a government school at the age of 8.things weren't easy but my dad always told me to be courageous and I shouldn't forget my home. That words motivated me and I was able to complete junior highschool.the name of the school is Koraaso Presbyterian Government school.I had a good grade then so I was sent to senior high school. I really struggled at that time.I had a friend whose mom was a clothe designer .I help her time to time to support my education .I had good feelings so mefriends mom helped me and teached me everything about it.any time we are on vacation or any break I go to her shop and help her.as time went by I became perfect at it.my colleagues in school appreciated my efforts.teachers got to know about it too.final year teachers contributed and helped me pay my fees.I was also a hard working student in school because I always remembered the advice my dad gave me.I then completed SHS.my parents told me they can't further me in my educatio.I was really heartbroken.fortunately for me my parents gave me some small amount so rushed quickly to my friends mom's place to see if she can get me something to add to what my parents gave me.she gave me some money..I told my parents that its time for me to move to the next township and start up my own business.people in that town welcomed me with great heart.they were all Happy because the people there loves our culture and they always want to wear something in an African way.my people like to portray our culture where I live.I am now my kids romodel and I have had an influence on them especially hard wor.l love to make designer clothes.this loan will help me improve productions and also will help me to expand my shop.that will help me and will also help the community.

I am a cloth designer.I only design African cloth and bags.the community I live in believe in cherishing what u have in your country and also portraying their culture specifically dressing.my friends sometimes ask me why I chose to be a cloth designer. All the time I tell them is about the love and passion I developed when I was very young.I did have different plans though but since my parents didn't have money for me to further my education this was my only hope and chance.again people's with this type of work lived comfortable because people always want to get new design dress and bags.that was a key factor for choosing this work.materials here a very costly and very difficult to get in market. I still make good profits.I use part of the profit to buy new machine inreplace of old ones. I also send some to my family in the village.my sister is in the university now and am taking charge of all her expenses including my own family my wife and kid.lastly I also employ ladies who live on the streets to at least reduce unwanted pregnancies.

I will more clothing for production and each costing 23gh and will help me to expand my business.it will go help me to increase 10% of my profit
