About Me

Am a female Zambian citizen aged 34. I come from a city of Choma, in the southern part of Zambia. Am married with two sons. Have not done any professional course yet but have done several skills trainings.

My Business

Currently I do part time work at an Organization called Expanded Church response to HIV and AIDs in Zambia (ECR) as a Families matter program facilitator along side running a chicken project at home with my husband. Am solely planning to venture in buying and selling second hand clothes and cross boarders to buy different items for resale so as to create a pool source of income

Loan Proposal

With the next loan I get, I want to further invest it in the clothing sale business that I have just started. A variety of clothes will help in gaining income and apart from from buying groceries, I can also use the increased profit for other household expenses. Thereby giving my family a peace of mind and possibly creating a job a opportunity for a youth I will engage in my business.

There were no payments from August 2019 to July 2021, when I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund.

Thank you dear lenders. This loan will be used to buy feed for my free range chickens and will definitely help in the growth of my birds getting them ready to be sold and consumed..
