She got divorced 17 years ago, after her husband disappeared out of the blue and never informed her he was going. She lives at Cape Coast in the central region of Ghana.



Elizabeth is a trader who deals with assorted products such as cooking utensils, clothing, ladies' slippers, etc. and mostly sells through hawking, that is house-to-house selling. She has been in the trade for 22 years now. With her humorous behavior, she has attracted lots of customers who purchase from her.



Elizabeth treks to Accra to purchase her stock of goods. Recently she has been facing challenges in her business as a result of inadequate funds to buy stock. She request a loan amount to buy more supplies of such products as cooking utensils, clothing, and ladies' slippers, which are frequently demanded by her numerous customers.

With the loan she should be able to make lots of profit to build a store to reduce the frequent walking in the street to sell. She belongs to a village bank called Bethel. She would be grateful for your assistance.
