Whilst making a short film in Ghana last year for The Overseas Development Institute, I filmed with one young man, Iliasu. Iliasu had polio as a child and consequently lost the use of his legs entirely and will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Iliasu however isn't one to lie down and let his situation defeat him. When I met him I was struck by his determination to break free from the cycle of poverty his condition had forced him into.

Iliasu wants to set up his own mobile money business, a service whereby he uses mobile SIM cards to transfer money between people's phones - it's a system common in Ghana where most people don't have a formal bank account.

To set up this business, underneath a tree near his house, Iliasu needs the equivalent of £300 to buy the SIM cards and invest in credit that he will give to his customers. Each time a transaction is made, Iliasu will make a little money and he aims to spend his profits re-investing in the business to grow it further.

Please help this entrepreneurial young man escape his situation and realise his dreams of owning his own business.
