I joined the Zidisha family in 2015 when I was 22 and still in school. Series of loan from the group has really helped me mostly in my education through the University as well as my business. My 1st and 2nd loan was geared towards my education. I then started a cattle rearing business with my 3rd loan from zidisha. I am currently an employed accounts officer in one of the biggest roofing companies in Ghana. I can also boast with more than 10 cattles from my animal farming business which is a part time work
My interest in animal farming at a tender age didn't die down as I made it a reality with the help of Zidisha. I started 3 calves in July 2017. As I speak, I have 16 cattles in my farm. I reserve some times from my busy work schedules to manage my farm. I wish to acquire additional cattle there by multiplying my livestock before December 2018. My only challenge is providing enough feed for them. Cattle rearing in Ghana is now profitable. A calf may be acquired for $150 and then later be sold for not less than $600 when they mature. That is about 400% increase in value. This has really boost my interest in taking this business to the next level.
I have currently enrolled as a student with the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants. I am in part three (3). I am preparing to write two papers thus F8 and F9 in the next sitting which is in few weeks from now. In other to be able to write these papers successfully, I am to pay my 2017 ACCA subscription and the exam fee totaling $360. I have so far gathered part of this amount from the allowance I receive from serving my country. I would be happy if this organization help finance this fees before the deadline catches up with me. I promise to be a good borrower by paying back on time.
