Felicia Dapaah

Felicia Dapaah is forty-one years old. She is married with two children. At the moment, one has completed senior high school. She has been a local manufacturer of palm oil and palm kernel oil for eight years now. Palm oil is produced from palm nut fruits and the palm kernel is a by-product of palm oil, which is produced first. The palm kernel is processed through various stages to obtain the palm kernel oil. Palm kernel is used to prepare many local dishes.

Her production is on a small scale because she has inadequate capital to buy machines for the processing. She wants to use this loan to buy more palm nuts to increase her efficiency to produce in larger quantities. She believes this will help expand her business to raise more income to support her husband, provide food, and finance her children’s education.

Felicia belongs to a community group called Nyame Nhyira, meaning God Blessing Trust Group. Her picture was taking during their group meeting. In this group, members guarantee for one another as social collateral to access loans and act as peer pressure to repay the loans. She said she would be grateful for your assistance.
