I am Obeng Kwame Enock from the parents of Mr. Obeng and Mrs. Obeng Bermah. We all live in Biadan, near Berekum in the Brong Ahafo region. I started my elementary school at Akab Complex School and then after continued at Osei Tutu Senior High School at Kumasi.

After my high school education, I got the chance to enter into a tertiary institution (College of Education). After the tertiary education, I decided to start something helpful that will bring something good for me and the community in which I live. That led me to start a business that sells agrochemical products.

I like reading, playing football and volleyball, and making new friends all over the world.

I started my business that sells agrochemical products in the year 2012. I decided to start that [business in] agrochemical products simply because most of the pupils that live in my community are mainly farmers, and for that matter are in need of this product so as to increase their harvests. These products are highly demanded in my town because there is no [other] agrochemicals shop in the town. The farmers travelled far to buy these chemicals; therefore my shop has come to solve most of their problems. Farmers' work has been in jeopardy because of the activities of swollen shoot and other insects.

I have purchased some chemicals for my shop, but, due to the gradual moving and growing of my shop, the demand for goods has also increased. Since I want to serve my customers better and I also want their happiness, I am appealing to the Zidisha lenders to approve the loan of $150 to expand my shop so that i can serve my customers better.

I don't even know how to thank all the lenders on this platform for their awesome performance in my life. But I pray for their good health, peace in their homes and business, and a long life. My previous loan helped me a lot to the extent that I have managed to start a new branch at Kato, a suburb of Berekum. I am requesting this loan to buy more farm equipment for my new and old shop. Again it it a season of growing crops in Africa (and, for that matter, Ghana), so I want to grow about 10 acres of maize with this same loan.

So this is how I have planned to use the loan:

70 boxes of agrochemicals which may cost about $350,

25 bags of fertilizer which also cost $300,

40 new splaying machines which may also cost $250,

and about $120 to hire a land for my maize cultivation.
