About Me

I am a very jovial person with many friends. I come from a very small family of four. My mum has just me and my big brother, Samuel Shehi as children. I love watching Indian movies on my leisure time.I also have many friends who keep me company in business daily. I am the lastborn to my mother so I have to see her daily either by sharing lunch or breakfast together. I live very close to my mother unlike my brother Shehi who I only meet when at Mazeras shopping centre. He is very supportive of me.

My Business

I had always have this great passion for a driver's job. I placed all my success in life on getting a driver's position in a transport company. Despite not getting a driver's job, I have not let that drag me down. I did many unskilled jobs for a long time. To my disadvantage, these jobs do not pay well enough so I had to live with low standards of living and lack of work for long periods. As a result, I tried my hand in business. I have been in several small businesses: Charcoal selling, Cassava frying & Potato frying. Of all, I have had much success in charcoal selling due to high demand of the commodity in my area.

Loan Proposal

I have had success in my charcoal business. I see more potential in charcoal due to high demand of the commodity. Currently, i sell at least three sacks( costing $7/sack) of charcoal( packed in bags selling at $0.25/pc ) per week. Additionally, charcoal is non-perishable so am assured of selling every bag i buy. Charcoal is widely used in my are (Mazeras) for cooking. With this loan I will be making an additionally profit of about $20 per week. I will repay with $13 and keep $7 as savings for emergencies. Help me take my business a step further, dear lenders.
