About Me

My name is chilufya brian, and l was born in 1982 in Ndola which is the provincial capital of the c/belt province. l grew up in both low and high cost areas. l did my primary education in ndola, and went to mufulira were l did my secondary education.i also did secondary teachers diploma,after a few years of financial problems i got a job on contruct which later my contruct was terminated because the school management fell into debt,a year later i started offering tuition to students from my neighbouring suburb which was catering for all my personal expenses,later i saved a few coins which saw me go to the university to persue a diploma in human resources management because i had a zeal for business and become my own bus .

My Business

i own a small poultry at my residence which i have been doing a few years but recently i have had to much demand for my chickens which made me decide to apply for a loan as it is growing,i.e i used to breed 50 chickens in a month then at times have not more than 5 of them die due to the weather conditions,so i had to increase my ordering stock to carter for new customers.so business is situated in the fastest growing populations which is to the advantage of my business

Loan Proposal

with the oppotunity of this loan given to me i want to put these funds to good use as it will help me boost my business financially,iam currently undergoing stock outs which is making it difficult to maintain a customer-supplier long term relatioships because ut-most when people come to buy they find that i have run out of stock, and for my new customers that has become my main thought of concern because i cant carter services to a large number of a supply base,due to little capital that i have in my business,so my loan fund will help me break barriers i.e order more chickens and more feed.

    Hi Brian, I am hoping you will be able to make even small payments on your loan. You were doing so well for months, and I imagine something bad happened to keep you from paying in time. I wish you the best. Please communicate with your lenders so we know what is happening. Even if you pay back late, as long as you are making progress, then your lenders will have faith in you for future loans.

    Hello Brian.
    You're getting a bit behind with your payments now. Please contact service@zidisha .org to reduce your payments for a while to a level you can manage. You can always increase them again later when you have more money coming in. They are always happy to help if you ask them.
    God bless you, Wendy
