About Me
I'm a happily married woman with 3 children of my own. I also help to raise some nieces and nephews. My eldest son is in secondary school right now and my husband and I are working hard to support his education as well as the education of our other children. My husband and I have a small farm as well as a store in Monze town. We want to be able to expand our business, but most of our profit goes into paying for school fees, leaving little to invest.
My Business
I have a small store in the town of Monze where I sell beans, kapenta (fish), and cooking oil. I buy the beans, kapenta, and cooking oil wholesale and then sell them in varying sizes. On a bag of beans, I can make about 400 kwacha profit. With paying for school fees, though, I run into a tough time reinvesting into the business as much of the profit goes to education costs for our children. I want to be able to diversify my income sources. I want to add Maize to my store as well. My first loan helped us a lot and we were able to save money.
Loan Proposal
The money from this loan will go to buying bulk beans and kapenta (small fish) to sell. I can make around 400 kwacha profit on the sale of one bag of beans. The money will be used to reinvest in the business so my husband and I can also afford school fees for our children.

My second loan was also very helpful and we were able to invest more into education.
