About Me
My name is Alice Mortey. I was born into a family a family of 5 where we shared the same boundary with poverty. My father was a peasant farmer but became a cripple after he was knocked down by a motorbike at Walewale on his way from the farm. And my mother was a seamstress who always wanted me to be by her whenever she is sewing.
Unfortunately, my two parents were knocked down by a cement trailer was coming from Burkina Faso to Tamale. It happened one day when my mom took my father to the hospital for check. They were rushed to the hospital but they couldn't survive. Hmmmmm.....may their gentle souls rest in peace.
As of the time that this sad incident happened, I was 18years and became a school dropout so I could work and look after my siblings. It hasn't been easy but we thank God Almighty for his mercy.
My Business
Before the death of my mom, she had taught me how to sew for both men and women to the extent that, I was perfect in sewing.
So after her demise, I took over her sewing business has since been doing to look after my siblings and other less privileged children in the community.
Typically, the costs I incur are cost of fabrics to sew, thread and needles and rent. But at the moment, don't have materials to sew and displays for people to buy and or bring their materials to be sewn for them.
Finally, the profits from the business are reinvested partly into the business by servicing and maintaining the machine and it is also used to support the needy in the society.
Loan Proposal
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to the leadership of Zidisha and my lenders for having supported my business with an affordable loan which had contributed greatly to my business.
I wish to humbly apply for a second loan to buy Ghana @ 60 anniversary materials or fabrics. A number of my clients are demanding that I buy the cloth and sew for them since nobody sells the anniversary cloth here in my area.
As a result of this, I wish to call on my most cherished lenders to assist me with a loan of GHS119.00 so I can buy these materials and sew to make some returns.
Thank you.
