About Me

I am Michael Kwarteng,I am 25 years old and Christian. I'm the fourth of six children to my parents and Ghanaian by birth and live in the capital town of Ghana, Accra.
I was student from National Institute of Information and Technology (NIIT) Accra, but currently pursuing my BSc IT program (distance education student) at Accra Institute Technology,. I am a good Christian and love evangelism work as well.
As a young entrepreneur I own a computer shop which I offer IT Training, Office Networking, Computer sales and repairs,
Architectural drawing, Graphic designing and Photo copies and many more .

My Business

In a growing era of personal needs and desires, income is the one of the most satisfying factor of an individual’s life. Income from multiple sources is one of the most required trends of present requirements and lifestyle. People with ordinary or average income generally face a greater impact on their lives when their single source of income is challenged. It takes them a larger span of time to come down to the basics once they start suffering due to their single income source. As a result of this their physical and mental health also gets affected.
My source of income is based on the following:
As a young entrepreneur, I own and manage a computer shop (euro IT Solutions) which gives me a lot of income. But there are more room for improvement with little efforts from well wishes.
I like my profession because it gives me a lot of experiences and shows me a different range of life backgrounds and human behaviours specifically of the youth.
However, sometimes I've had a hard time since there are a lot of challenges as well. But even so, I've tried to look in a positive side, because I know dealing with human isn't an easy thing.
In order to improve my work performance and myself, I believe there are still many things I have to learn, and need to strive for to become a successful entrepreneur in the future.

Providing professional IT services has been my passion always. I want to make my professional services available not only in my locality but across the country and worldwide. However, It has been a worry to me as to how to expand my business without the requisite financial backing. Things have been in a standstill for quite too long. I am looking forward to expanding my business to new locations. I also want to provide more improved IT Services to better satisfy my client's needs. I believe that with the necessary assistance, i can reach higher heights!

Loan Proposal

Providing quality IT services has always been my goal and i thank Zidisha very much for giving me the platform to achieve this dream God bless you all.
Since i want to provide more improved IT Services to better satisfy my clients, there is a need for me to get extra computers at my shop.
When i am granted with this loan it will help me to improve on my services by buying extra desktop with a higher specifications so i can improve on my designing works and get enough space to store my data. Since the ones i have now do not have the capacity to perform all these activities and also need to get an external Hard Disk for my data back ups. Buying of all these is estimated to cost around 130 dollars.
Thank you once again for your assistance.

    Dear Lenders,

    I had the pleasure of meeting with Michael yesterday and after a lengthy misunderstanding with a trotro conductor, I eventually made it to take a look around NAKWES Group’s office in Legon, Accra, near the University of Accra campus.

    Six months ago, Michael and four of his friends were all working separately for IT and ICT companies when they got together and decided to address two issues affecting Accra:

    1. Ghana has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world – 25.6% in 2012 - compared to a global average of 12.6% .
    2. There was no laptop and electronic repair service near the University of Ghana, requiring students to make a time-consuming and costly trip to the inner city to service their computers.

    Michael is an entrepreneur at his core – as early as grade school he could recognize and capitalize on a market demand. So it’s no surprise that he found himself and his friends starting up their own company in response to the problems faced by their community.

    And so, NAKWES (their name from the first letter of each founder’s surname) was born. NAKWES offers laptop and mobile phone repair as well as IT training and media classes that aim to help graduating secondary students pass their tertiary exams. They also recently started their NAKWES College branch, offering a three-month program of media and computer courses for adults. The College will be graduating its first class of 25 students this month.

    Michael’s use of Zidisha loans has been helpful in allowing for the purchase of laptop accessories and tools, but he is really excited to continue borrowing and increase his credit limit. NAKWES is looking into the business of importing laptops for resale in order to support their growing education initiatives and hopes Zidisha will be a key factor in making this happen.

    Again, I’m so grateful that Michael and the NAKWES team took time out of their busy work day to show me around. The business is promising, especially for one just six months old, and I’m very excited to seeing how the company grows. The team appreciates the support of you, Zidisha lenders, and looks forward to continuing this relationship!

    Dear lenders,

    my name is Roberta and I am the Zidisha Country Coordinator for Ghana, I just wanted to inform you about the reason for the delay in disbursing the loan to Mr Kwarteng, one week after the date in which the loan was fully funded.

    In Ghana, we use the MTN Mobile Money platform to send the loans to our borrowers. This requires the borrower to be subscribed to the Mobile Money service and Mr Kwarteng still have to subscribe.

    Mr Kwarteng, I communicated to you more than a week ago about the necessity to be a Mobile Money subscriber to be able to receive your Zidisha loan. Please, inform me when you have completed registration.

    Best regards,

    Roberta
