About Me

My name is Shiela Wurah and I come from Battor in the Volta Region of Ghana. I have lived in Accra all my life ( that is for the past 45 years). I am a pharmacist by profession. I am happily married to Mr. Bijou Wurah who is a software executiveat Oil and Marine agencies, Tema. I have three lovely children, one girl and two boys.
I always admired the work of doctors and nurses at the hospital and I have always thought about how to make their work easier through the production and supply of medicines. This brought up my interest into pharmacy and what pharmaceutical companies are about. I then started getting interested more in medicines, how they are produced, and how they work to heal. I then decided to study pharmacy in the university so that with this passion and knowlegde I can help in treating different illnesses.

My Business

I am a pharmacist by profession. I always admired the work of doctors and nurses at the hospital and I have always thought about how to make their work easier through the production and supply of medicines. This brought up my interest into pharmacy and what pharmaceutical companies are about. I then started getting interested more in medicines, how they are produced, and how they work to heal. I then decided to study pharmacy in the university so that with this passion and knowlegde I can help in treating different illnesses. Some of the pharmacies I have worked with are Betvin pharmacy at Madina, and Joefiko Pharmacy. I have worked for the past 16years as a pharmacist. I now have my own pharmacy called Maple Leaf Chemists limited at Tema community 1, site 4. I have employed two workers who work with me in the pharmacy. I have dreams of opening other pharmacies all over my country and beyond, and also go into selling drugs on wholesale so that I can supply all the other pharmacies in Tema with drugs any time they need drugs to buy.

Loan Proposal

I am a pharmacist by profession. I have worked for the past 16years as a pharmacist. I now have my own pharmacy called Maple Leaf Chemists limited at Tema community 1, site 4. I have dreams of opening other pharmacies all over my country and beyond, and also go into selling drugs on wholesale so that I can supply all the other pharmacies in Tema with drugs any time they need drugs to buy. The demands at my pharmacy has now become huge than before. I need about $250 more to buy some more drugs to stock up my pharmacy so that I can meet the demands of my customers. I know by the help of zidisha I will be able to achieve this goal and when this happens I will be able to keep my customers and also increase my customer base as well. This will inturn make drugs readily available to the people in the community and they will not have to walk to far places to get their prescribed drugs. Thank you.

    Dear lenders
    Thank you for funding 9% of my loan. I am very much grateful. I am left with only one day left for my loan to expire. I need your support to be able to get a sign board for my pharmacy. The sign board would serve as a form of advertisement and also a direction for the people in my community to easily locate the pharmacy without stress.
