About Me

I am a young man who has successfully completed a diploma in Information Technology and Networking. I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Management at the University College. I am self-motivated and an enthusiastic self-starter who can work on my own with little or no supervision and also enjoy working in a team environment. I enter easily into new situations with a creative and resourceful attitude. I live with my wife and family. Most of the money i make goes to taking care of my family and business. unemployment is high in this country so it is better to do your own business. i like soccer and music

My Business

I have through my own resources established a fashion designing shop. I put together beautiful designs of dresses and send to some tailors i know and we produce it. I buy different type of fabric for various designs. but locally made Ghanaian fabrics sell more especially if it is made into an exotic dress designs for all sexes. Cost of fabric is high but a good dress can sell for 60 ghana cedis. I target both old and young in my area. I have a good client base. People also bring their own designs and i make for them for special occasions. At 60 ghana cedis i make about 400 to 600 ghana cedis a month. I pay my tailors and buy more fabric and save the rest. I can grow this business if i have the right resources. I can set up a work space and get a help. Right now, i operate from home.

Loan Proposal

If i am given this loan i will buy more fabric for more designs. I will rent a work space and show room in town as well in the future for display of my dresses. i will buy some manikins to use as display too. This will boost my business and make it more attractive to clients. I will e able to increase my reach and profit. My current profits will be enough to pay off my loan. Thank you

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am Zidisha Country Expansion Coordinator for Ghana. I have noticed that Mr Abostivia has not started to repay his loan yet and has accumulated some arrears. I am trying to contact him and understand if he is experiencing some difficulties with his fashion design shop. So far I was unable to reach him, but I will keep on trying and share with you any update.

    Mr Abostivia, please let us know how your business is going and how we can assist you in regards to your loan repayment. Remember that you can always contact Zidisha by sending an email at service@zidisha. org.

    Thanks and best regards,

    Roberta
    Ghana Country Expansion Coordinator
