About Me

I have a strong conviction that good things happen to those who hustle that is why I postpone death by living, by suffering, by errors, by risking, by giving or by losing.
At a younger age I was abounded by my parents and it was my aunt who took care of me. I have to struggle to help my aunt to take care of me and other family members. During my schooling days I have to work for others in the form of washing clothes for a fee to been nun to save money for my education and up keep. Grass cutter farming was introduced to me by a friend who did Bsc. Agriculture at UCC., Cape Coast, Ghana. He even helped me to get the cage and quality breed to start with. It was his information that made me used my money I had save to setup this business to enable me support myself and my siblings education.

My Business

To many of the youth, they prefer to travel to Accra the capital city to search for non existing white color job than to farm. Because they do see farmers as poor uneducated people job. But I chose this business as opportunity to change my life for it to be an example for my peers in the neighborhood. I rear grass cutter at home with six cages. I supply these animals to restaurants to complement protein in take of our population. I want to supply it on large scale but I don't have capital and space to do that due. My farm produce are also bought by market sellers and individuals especially starter in grass cutter farming.

Loan Proposal

The item I will used this loan for is to buy mesh wire at a cost of 80 GHS .
This loan will help me to be able to support my three siblings to enable them to achieve their dreams. With zidisha lenders help I will expand to increase my income to support myself and my family.
