Receiving the idea in a dream

Fafali told Efo Selasi of Truly Ghanaiantv how the idea to start making shoes came to her in a dream after praying about the plight.

''I went out once again in search of a job but the endeavour was futile; I was shattered when I returned home ... I placed a white handkerchief and invited God to have a seat. I told him about my challenges and proclaimed the promises in his word to Him. I cried in my room and asked Him to intervene in my situation. I sketched what I saw in my dream when I woke up,'' she told Efo Selasi.

Financing the business

Fafali received a business idea but no money to finance the idea into reality, however, she was determined to overcome the impediment.
