my dear leaders i am taking care of my uncle,wife and and their kids too,with my corn mills and farming work Ask i said my uncle got an accident and cripple.my mills corn are located on the main road in kokofu area at Bekwai and one too located at the main market square ,left at your hand side of the road.The other two too located at the main chief palace house and the last one that i am operating located at our own family house. people around the area come and mill their maizes,cassavas,millet's,peppers,all kinds of flours in my mills because that is the only corn mill in the area. I chooses this business because i found out that my people in the community complain about the difficult they can grain their flours. I started this business with small amount of money but because of good management and high confidence i put in my mind i was able to increase my profit margin to 40%. i have people too from street to hired them to work and paid ,because i don't want my young boys and girls on the street surfer like how i surfed,right now i have able to employed 15 workers to help me and paid. does why i applied for the ZIDISHA LOAN to get another machines to operate and hired more youths.I use some of the profit to improve home needs,look after my uncles family and pay my younger brother ,senior high school fees. and also use part for reinvestment for business to grow but sometime my mills,some of the machines get spoiled, become difficult for me because is the same profit that i use to support the whole family. so now i need the loan to support to buy new mill to operate. .And i hope the leaders will help me to get the loan.THANK YOU MY GOOD LEADERS.

am pleading with my dear leaders to help me to get the loan. i hope through my mill and farm work i will able to pay the loan on time and i use the loan to buy corn mill machine in order to get opportunity to employed some youths to operate the mill.i am also agree to the terms and conditions given Thank you my leaders at ZIDISHA .
