My late father was a cocoa farmer who married two wives, my mother being the second wife and herself also a farmer. In all, my father has twelve children, I being the ninth of my father and the fourth by my mother. Living in such a family, me and my siblings did not have life easy, education was not a necessity, but rather farming and helping our parent is the priority.

After my elementary education, I was given the option by my late father to either be with him and farm or join my grandfather to learn trade. I joined my grandfather, where I learned fashion and designing, a profession a have being practicing till today

My business is Fashion and designing. I have a shop and three sewing machines. I sew for individuals, Churches, Corporate organisations etc.

With the government new policy of local wear in offices, there is high demand for our goods and services (Sewing)

Currently, i have two apprentices and one employee (work and pay). I am able to sew averagely 54 attires for both male and female dresses a week.

Acquiring a new machine, I can do more, then by earning more profit, hence my interest in Zidisha loan. I can make four hundred Ghana cedis monthly. By doing this I can successful pay my ward's school fees and pay the bills of my dependents.

For the high demand for my services I intend to buy additional designer sewing machine, and also purchase wax print materials for my sewing business.

1. Designer sewing machine @ $ 370

2. Purchase of variety of wax print materials @ $ 420

3. Payment of annual rent for my shop @ $350

4. Purchase of sewing accessories $150

In all a total of $ 1290 needed for my next projects.

Hoping that the good, lovely and caring lenders on the Zidisha platform would lend to me again
