Shukamba is a husband, a father of two and, with the help of ENA’s Self Supported Assistance Program, a business owner.
Here is Shukamba’s story:
“I am a fisherman, but today my self-esteem has increased because I am among people who own businesses in my area. Fishermen are seen as being nobody because everyone is fishing in the local Kavango River. But, because of the Self Supported Assistance Program and the good work of Mr. Richard (ENA’s Ghana Director), my life has been changed. Thank you Mr. Richard for your love to us and your dedication to let us see the light.
The loan has helped me to build my shop and be able to put in electricity, listen to the radio and play music. People who come and buy goods at my shop are happy.
I have also been able to save money for my children’s education, health care and building a brick building for my home and business continuation by next year.
At first, the program was not easy because it was new in my area. But one of the things I learned is to do my best to and advise others to do the same.
We thank all who are helping us and I will always encourage others to take this opportunity and change their life for good.”
