About Me

I grew up in a rural place/set up and later moved to urban centers in search of green pastures after completing my both primary and secondary education. I have been so instrumental in so many avenues of life that will take more than 100 pages to fully describe myself and i have management to achieve goals though not all as set up in life.
I came to start up my business simply because of the reason of wanting to contribute more to the community than individual/or myself by starting up a training programme wherein FGM ESCAPEES pay some money/fees and get professional skills that will improve on their lifestyles as in the picture uploaded.
The land is fertile but in terms of acreages, it has greatly reduced to the extent that one has to think twice over her/his survival. Equally, the cultural aspect of the community really condones the outdated practices which i want to discourage by offering skilled training at a fee for my sustainability. However, in general the community's cultural believes accepts all sundry.
Concerning the issue to do with my children, it would be a bit difficulty for me to tell as even myself did not at any given time imagine of doing what am engaged in now or rather that i would be doing in my future times. So what one anticipates to be once fully grown up actually does not come to reality as life has its own dynamics and challenges. So it is not easy to tell as that is ones' choice.
Truly, my hobby isn't be of much difference as i commit much of my time in the skills training of the FGM ESCAPEES. However, when i have that time of relaxing i at times enjoy sporting activities.

My Business

Fine. To start with i would be very categorical that the services that i would provide would be paying as it will involve in, in the training of the girls who run away from undergoing female genital mutilation (FGM) at a fee agreeable.
The services is in demand because of the reason that the community rampantly practices the outdated practice like FGM and for those who have seen others running away from the same and opting for the training have interestingly increased and so needs much money and attention, which makes me feel that if given an opportunity of getting a loan shall definitely improve on my business or services.
Because of the increasing number of girls who are opting for a different rite of passage that want to be disassociated by having something skilled for their lifetime lifestyles.
Because of the economic hardships and lack of resources/or money from the girls, i really do make it at a very reasonable costs so as to encourage many from undergoing the outdated practices thus act as an inducement. But, however, that does not mean that i can't be able to repay my loan once approved. Much of my revenue comes from the training i do offer, which actually sustains all my needs.
After all the expenses thus school fees, rent, foodstuff, clothings, etc, i still remain comfortable though not to the required standards which i feel that i should get an added income such as this loan from you to supplement on the training, so as to make my life be a bit not straining and worked up.

Loan Proposal

a). 1 Sewing machine = US$ 291.3,
b). 5 pieces of scissors each at US$ 49 = US$ 245,
c). 1 roll of cloth material = US$ 146,
d). 2 pieces of electric iron boxes each at US$ 54 = US$ 270.

These will better me in form of making more money from my trainees as i will be able to get a big number of interested trainees. This will at the same time better the community by having a big number girls having undergone skilled training for self sustaining instead of relying on their parents, guardians, and many of the same.
Obviously there shall be an improvement in my business in terms of making profit which for sure i can not be able to quote right away here. But for sure it is an overwhelming business.
