I am called Edu Boah. I was born in Accra, a capital city in Ghana .Ghana is a country in the western part of Africa. I have completed primary school and continue to have my Junior High School Certificate.l later obtained a certificate from Senior High School .After the completion of Senior Secondary school ,l was trained as a professional graphic designer. I was the oldest of my three siblings. it was very difficult for myself and my family because my mother was single parent. My father passed away and left my mother alone with us.

Being the oldest, I had to take care of my mother and my siblings, one brother and two sisters. Even with no one helping me, l started a small business with my small savings in my home in which l provide graphic designering and printing services. I worked hard every day to support my family. I earned an income by providing this services to my customers. With the income I receive from my business, I support my family. l like praying football and reading books in my free time..

I am a designer. I started the business about five years ago, immediately after I completed my training in graphic designering with the help from my small savings and later one of my best friend also helped me with the used computer. At the beginning of my business, things were very difficult but now things are going well. I provide good quality designing services .l need necessary equipment l will use their machines for some of my works . In the future, I would love to have my business move to a store location, but this plan will take me a long time because I do not have the capacity to expand. l need Zidisha micro-loan and it will help me buy machinery and materials need for my small enterprise.and allowing me to take on more customers and provide the community with a alternative for their print design needs.when l get the loan to buy the machine and the materials it will help me serve my communities better and earn more profit so that l can use that money to repay my loans too. l will invest the money into the business so that l will get more job, more profit repay my loan on time and I support my family.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Zidisha and leaders very much for given me opportunity to apply for another loan .l am applying for a loan of 3095 ghc and l plan to use the loan to purchase new computers and printing papers. I will use $100 for the printing papers and the remaining for the new computers.This will help me to serve my customers well and bring in more profit. I will use my profit to repay my loan.
