My father died at the age of 4 with four brothers and 3 sisters who were taken care by our mother alone, we passed through a lot of hardship. I Started schooling at age 7 without any pre school and involved in chard labour. I used to sell different kind of uncooked food items to pay my fees at basic level and I did small scale mining in orther to complete senior high education at (BOASS) My mother gave words of encouragemet even though there was no money to back it and l managed to go through all these hardship until I completed my professional cause at WATICO. Interestingly at tender age I was elected Senior boys prefect.I am married and God has blessed me with 2 boys. The older 5years and the little one 2 and half years. After my professional course I began to help pupils around and that was the begining of my business career. People appreciate good things. Reading and music are my hobbies.

As a professional teacher I am interested in education therefore l have established Nticare Educational Complex to provide education for students especially those under privilege and my children are performing very well because of the inservice training I provide for my teachers.Most of the public schools are full and the need to established a private school to complement the public ones. I have always used my profits to reinvest in growing the business since my own biological children are young.

Information Communication and Technology (ICT) is a subject studied in almost all the schools in Ghana but we don’t have computers for effective teaching and learning. Thanks to Zidisha and my lenders, my school has one (1) desktop computer for the teaching of 100 students and demonstration when teaching and also keeping of important information about the pupils especially their personal data and records.

However, I am ones again appealing to Zidisha team and my lenders who helped me to acquire the computer. Now, with the approval of this loan, I would be able to add at least three (3) more computers so that pupils can utilized them effectively in groups as teachers teach and pupils practice. I know definitely that my good lenders would help this important dream to be materialized in this technological world.

Thank you.
