Celebrated actress and producer Yvonne Nelson has opened up about the numerous challenges she faced while building her school.
She stated that establishing Yvonne Nelson International School was an extremely difficult and demanding endeavor.
Yvonne revealed that she ran out of money during the construction and was unable to secure bank loans or other financial support.
She explained that the interest rates proposed by the banks were unreasonable, forcing her to sell her house and other properties to fund the school’s construction.
“Obviously, we’ve just started primary school and this is just phase one. We are going to continue and progress further. It is really crazy because, at a point, I am getting personal now.
When we started the project, I had to sell my house because I went to the banks for a loan and the percentages were, look, it did not make sense.
“So, I had to fall back on a house and sold it. I had so many memories there, but I said to myself, Yvonne, this is the only way, so I sold the house, started the building, the money finished and I had to dip into my savings,” Yvonne Nelson said in an interview shared on X.
Despite the challenges, the Just Like Mama founder did not give up on building her international school.
She said she was hopeful the school would make a positive difference for its students and help create many future leaders in Ghana.
