About Me
My name is Yaa Badu from Asamankese in the Eastern part of Ghana. I am a mother of 4 children , two boys and two girls. I am also a cosmetic trader for the pass 3 years now. I come from a very poor family of which I was raised by a surrogate mother after the death of my mother who gave birth to me 2 years before her she met her untimely death. A surrogate mother took care of me , clothe me, sent me to school but in the midway she could no longer afford to care for me any more . This was as a result, when she lost her job. During those moments , life was extremely difficult for me so I no longer wanted to stay in school because i had no one to pay for my fees. I told my self had some little education from the vocational school is something enough to carry on in life if only you put in self determination and perseverance you can really make it in life.
My Business
Base on this believe I stared working in the sale of cosmetic in a shop which I was hire to work. I work with one Mr Kalpesh an Indian woman who brings in more cosmetics from Indian for sale in Ghana and indeed I was a good marketer of her products of which she love working with me. I had a good working relationship over there until i finally decided to put up a little shop of my own.
I did this and I succeeded. I can now confidently say I own a shop now. Apparently, , business has been good in Asamankese market since most of young girls and boys live around the vicinity. Due to the influx and the good selling innate skills I possessed I have been able to grow and now I need to open up the shop a little bigger in order to accommodate in more stock and also to meet the popular request of certain items from my customers. I have big dreams but currently my financial status is weak. so it is on this note that i will like to seek for a loan to enable me accomplish this burning desire of mine and hit up the market as soon as possible.
Loan Proposal
In my line of words I wish to plead with our Nobel lenders to help me meet this objective. upon receipt of this loan I shall first of all buy some wood from the wood factory and also some nails and also get organise a carpenter to work on the shop. I pray that my request will meet the heart and minds of our lenders who will help give me a spirit of elevation . Thank you all.
