Joseph is 65 years old and has two wives and five children and must provide for their basic necessities and pay his children's school fees. He is a hard-working man and provides transportation to people on his motorcycle; he has been doing this for a long time and is able to manage his business.

Joseph's motorcycle transit business helps the community because the roads are bad and people use the cycles occasionally for transportation from one area to another.

Joseph joined GHAPE from the beginning and has developed a lot concerning both his business and management techniques. He has taken loans through GHAPE before and been successful in repaying them.

Death of Chi Joseph Tanisium Entrepreneur: Chi Joseph Tanisium Location: Bamenda Food Market, Nw. Province, Cameroon He took a loan of $1000 on the 10th October 2009 to buy a Motor bike and successfully went on with this business. To him it was very profitable since he was the rider of the bike and at the end of the day he was able to have his minimum balance. It took us by surprise to hear that he was seriously ill and was lying in the hospital.During this period, one of his sons decided to be using the bike in order to raise money to help his dad in the hospital. This was not the case as he intended. Thieves held him in the neighborhood of the metropolitan town of Bamenda and went away with the bike. Things did not end at this point. After a week we were informed in the office of his death on the 12th October 2009 in the hospital.Untill this moment Joseph Tanishium is having an outstanding loan of 309,520 FRS CFA. He shall be burried today October 14th, 2009 at 11am at Alabukam.
