About Me

Gideon Agyare Nkansah is my name.I was born on the 4th of October,1976.I am married with three kids.I have two daughters and a son.The name of my daughters are Celine,she is 14 years and Rhoda,she is 11 of age.The little boy is called Gerrit and he is 5 years old.My lovely wife's name is Mercy.I started my primary education at Goshen Preparatory school.I then continue my education at Tema Methodist day secondary school.Due to the unfortunate death of my father,there was no one to help me continue my education.I needed to work with building contractors to enable me get some money to continue my education.I then continue my education in a technical school called Tema Technical Institute where i offered a course in welding.After school,i wanted to open a welding shop on my own,but there was no support from no where.I later applied for a company work and i am currently working with Olam Ghana Limited,after working Ghacem Limited and Nestle Ghana Limited.

My Business

As a salary worker, my income alone is not enough to take good care of my children’s education, since their future depends on their education, I need to invest in their education to help them reach their goals in future and take good care of my family and also help the needy. With all this vision in mind, that let me started the transport business. I have started the transport business with a Hyundai (Model: H100) with registration number GT 4511 - 14, which I have not paid in full.
With the help of the Zidisha loan, my transport business will flourish, and also let all my visions been fulfilled by buying more vehicles in future to grow my transport business.

Loan Proposal

When the loan is granted to me, this is what I will use it for:

1) Celine's school fees: $400
2) Rhoda's school fees: $380
3) Textbooks for both children: $200
4) Education accessories for both children: $150
5) Notebooks for both children: $200
6) Exercise books for both children: $150
7)Study fees for both children: $100

This is going to help me pay my children's fees, and pay for their studies fees and also buy their books.Since I started taking loan from Zidisha,it has in fact helped me a lot by paying my children's fees always on time and they are never sacked from school.I hope when this loan is granted to me i will use it to pay their school fees as quickly as possible so that they will not be sacked from school.
My children's education have improve,and i hope it will improve more since the loan help me to pay their school fees and other education needs on time.

    THE FACT THAT I AM UNABLE TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR THE LOAN IS THAT I AM SERIOUSLY ILL, UNABLE TO TALK, WALK, AND HAVING SEVERE EAR PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN 7 MONTHS NOW AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT WORKING ANY MORE. PLEASE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVIENCE I MAY HAVE CAUSED. I AM NOW RECOVERY FROM MY SICKNESS AND I WANT TO RESUME THE PAYMENT OF THE LOAN I TOOK. I WILL LIKE TO REDUCE THE WEEKLY PAYMENT IN ORDER FOR ME TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR THE LOAN. MY WIFE HAS DECIDED TO HELP ME PAY FOR THE LOAN AS I AM NOW NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY AND NOT WORKING. THANKS TO YOU ALL.

    I called but his phone was off so i texted him with my own phone number to let him know that he has to pay the loan even if he can't afford to pay the current scheduled amount, he should adjust so he can pay it.

    Hi Gideon - how you doing? How are things since you secured the loan? Able to generate the income you planned from the transport business? See that you have missed a few of the repayments - always good to keep your strong communications up with your lenders - in case you need to make any adjustments etc.. Best, Erik

      Hey Gideon - hope you are ok. what are the challenges you have with making the repayments and also no further communication around that. It's not reflecting well on what you expressed here. Communication will help. Best Erik
