About Me

I grew up in a family of 11 and I am the last born. When I was young, I never use to miss church service and I could always follow the pathfinder pledge which state that by the grace of God, I will be pure, kind and true. I will keep the pathfinder law, I will also be a servant of God and a friend to man.

When I joined pathfinder club I came to know the pathfinder law is for me to keep the morning watch, do my honest part, care for my body, keep a level of eye, be courteous and obedient, walk softly in the sanctuary, keep a song in my heart and on God's errands.

Coming to my education part, I couldn't finish school because my parents failed to manage tacking me to school and otherwise. Things where hard for them by then, I guess and the other reason is despite being 13 people at home there was another relatives my parents where taking care of.

I thank God that they have raised a strong woman in consideration to the benefits drived from fellowship and here I am today as a business woman. I drew inspiration from my mother because dad had a garden so mom and I use to sell crops from the garden at the community market and sometimes we could sell them door to door.

My Business

I am a business lady who gives local kaloba(kongole) to civil servants, domestic workers, general workers including members of the community.

I also have a glossary that I am running at home and in the same shop there is a liquor apartment where I sell different variety of beer, bottled and canned.

Has this business keeps growing and boosted with your help, my plan is to extend my thinking by buying a plot about 70x90 which will cost me approximately ZMW 35000.00. on this plot I will build a grill and pub store then outside I will reserve a space for my gentle cave car wash so that I could creat another business and empower youths out there who are Jobless by employing them.

I am also a small scale farmer, I do rent a farm about 6 hectors but mu aim is to buy my own farm in the next coming years.

Project Proposal

2024 has been a tough year for me so far. I lost My daughter and granddaughter within this year, on top of that my 6 hector farm didn't produce enough bags ofmaize because of not having enough rains in our country for draut was all over.

Hence my business has gone down due to my expenses during the struggle and I would like it to be boosted.

I want to buy 40 liters of cooking oil and 3 bags of meal meal then break them in bulk which I will earn more profit when I supply my customers.

Dear Zidisha team, your help will be humbly appreciated so much
