I am Amanfo Godfred. I was born on the 20th of July, 1985, and am now 30 years old. I come from Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I had my basic education at Sunyani Presbyterian Junior High School, and then further education at Sunyani Senior High School. My father passed away when I was seven years old, and I attended public school ever since then. My mother started farming to take care of us. I am in a family of four, and I am the second born of my parents. After completing Senior High, I found it difficult to further my education at university because there was no money available to do that.The whole family depends on the small farm that my mother started. So, I help my mother on the farm. Eventually, I got the chance to go to Cape Coast University and successfully earned a degree certificate in Agricultural Science in 2012. However, I still have no employment yet, so I decided to start my own vegetable-crop production. My family has vast land to cultivate crops to support the family. I borrowed money to start my vegetable-crop production and it's growing fast. I use the knowledge I gained at university to cultivate my vegetable crops, and I still have a lot of interest in farming. My hobbies are reading, studying, dancing,

swimming, jogging, and traveling.

Since my intentions have been to enter into large-scale farming, I have

secured over ten acres of land for vegetables, to be shared equally with

my family. I was motivated by the fact that you cannot do without

vegetables. Vegetables are profitable in our town here and my farm is

located near the market center, which helps me to get more profit. I use

30% of the profit for reinvestment into my production. But, so far, I

cannot hire more laborers because of financial difficulties, which makes

it hard to cultivate even more crops. So, I need this $150 to improve my

production.

i am very thankful with my dear Zidisha for my second which has help me a lot for my vegetable farm crop. i was able to earn profits out it and i was able to help my community too by hiring workers for my vegetable farm. i used the loan to start building my own house and i use 40% for reinvestment to improve my vegetable farm. i need i need $550 to irrigation machines for my vegetable for since we are in the drying season which i need the to flow on my farm for better grow of my vegetable farm.i am leading with my dear leaders to help with $550 to improve my irrigation system on my vegetable farming production.Thank you so much. i need to buy pipes and water for my vegetable crop to improve upon it.i can earn more profits if you lead me this loan as soon as possible .Thank you
