About Me

I was brought out from a village called DaNyame just about two and half kilometers from Dormaa Ahenkro. We were family of four, two sisters and two brothers of which I am the senior brother. My parents were peasant farmers . two of my family members had formal education up to the teacher training. I could not continue my education after I completed senior high school so entered into apprenticeship where I learnt spraying, specifically and general spraying. My parents faced the financial difficulty caring for the four of us and I thought it wise enough to go into spraying to enable me assist them in catering for my siblings. After I completed learning the job,I took a loan from one of the micro-finances but I faced a lot of problems before paying back because the interest was too high. I managed to build a store at the town magazine, bought the necessary tools and equipment to start with. Dormaa Ahenkro is a municipal for which most of the indigents are mostly poultry farmers. I would want my children to grow in formal education to the highest possible. I enjoy reading story books. I browse a lot on the internet.

My Business

Car spraying is what I dreamt doing when I was in school. My school mates would laugh at me anytime I mention this, most of then had big dreams of becoming pilots,Engineers,etc but I decided to learn spraying after school. Now I'm into spraying, I have my own shop and it is the source of living for me and my family at large.

Loan Proposal

Spraying is my occupation and that has been keeping me and my family. Indeed I love my job and nothing can stop me. I want to buy blue paint $15, black paint $14, red paint $17, white paint $14. I will also buy three talons of Tina $16, I will buy five paper solitape $8 and finally I will buy. Three of the filler $13. With the above items great change will happen at my work area.

    Hi Lenders,

    I am the Volunteer Mentor for this borrower, who has missed payment. I am unable to reach him by phone. I would keep trying.

    I will buy paints, protective goggles, new spraying machine. I will be very much happy if these items are bought into my shop. It will stop the system where sometimes I ask my customers to go and buy their own paints before I spray for them. It will generate income for me to be able to pay my children's school fees next term when school reopens.
