About Me

My name is Ernestina ferkaa from Berekum. The name of my parents are Mr and Mrs ferka Solomon from Atuuna in Brong ahafo region, but now lives in Berekum with my dad alone. My mother has passed away two years ago.
I started my basic school at Atuuna D/C primary school at the age of six with both my parents in atuuna .
I completed my primary school education at Atuuna.
My family moved to Berekum and i acquired my junior high school certificate at Berekum presby junior high school and from there my mother passed away so I couldn't continue my education again so my father decided to dress making and this is where am working now.
Interns of hardship the first thing I do is pray to God for his guidance and also consult people who are ahead in that sector for advice.
I started a daily contribution to micro finance and they assist my to raise money to start my business.
The unique thing about the land or culture is 70% of the adults are farmers.
Since I didn't get good education, I want to support my children to become layers and doctors in future.
The unique past time is that, I was a netball team captain and I was able to lead the team to win a trophy for my school.

My Business

I am seamstress and I sow shirt for individuals and groups. I want to buy electric sowing machine to make my work easy and simple.
People are now into African wear business so I sow and supply my customers to sell for me.
Now I want to buy neaten device.
And they will get money for their family. And in this case unemployment rate has reduced. People's life will be improved.
Please this time round am going to use this loan to open my own shop.

Loan Proposal

Am going to use this loan to buy my own shop and it is going to cost me 1000$ but I have been able to save a little amount to add to what you will give to me.
This my shop will help me gain 100% independent. And also get more profit to save and also pay the loan back in time.
I think this my shop will increase my profit to 100% because am not going to share the profit with anybody again.

    Hey Ernestina! That's great about the deal you got with the school. What exactly are you planning on investing this money in when you open a shop? Rent for the shop? Or what?

    Am going to use this loan to open my own tailoring shop.
    This will help me to get 100% independence.
    Because am not going to work under any body.
    This will help me save more to pay my loan back in time and also maintain my trust percentage.
    I use my profit earnings to pay my loan back and also save some for future use..
    I have achieved a lot with zidisha, because I went to this tailoring without any backing but with the support you are providing, I have been able to start something big.
