About Me

I was born and grew up in Lusaka libala DK. My academic qualification is grade 12 which I completed at david kaunda high school in 2010. Upon my completion I worked as a secretary at DARTIZ internet cafe. In 2013 I started my own business of photocopying and typing and printing. I want to invest more on stationary as they go hand in hand with what I am currently doing. My current business has helped me to meet my challenges like school fees for my sister and the loan will help me educate my children who want to become a doctor and a teacher. I like learning new things and studying and attending a business workshop.

My Business

I would like to continue providing the current services of photocopying , typing and printing which are vital for all businesses and students who are my core customers. I will provide the following goods after the above services-

1. bold paper- rim $6.00
2. envelops - rim $3.50
3. staples - box $ 1.00
4. pens - box $2.00
5. mathematical sets- $ 1.50 each
6. manila paper -$ 0.50 each
7.laminating pouches - $0. 20 each
and others.

I will use my profit to pay school fees and reinvest the rest into my business

Loan Proposal

From this loan I will buy the following items for resale in stationery form. This will boost my business and benefit others in terms of employment.

1. bold paper- rim $6.00
2. envelops - rim $3.50
3. staples - box $ 1.00
4.pens - box $2.00
5. mathematical sets- $ 1.50 each
6. manila paper -$ 0.50 each
7.laminating pouches - $0. 20 each
and others....
I am expecting to make K2,000.00 as my profit from this loan which will account for 60% increase in profit.

    There were no payments from February 2017 to February 2019, when I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund.

    I write to apologize for late repayments, i have had a lot of challenge with my business because of the shortage of decoders we encountered by the supplier multi choice Zambia. how ever the decoders will be in the country by next week as we have been updated by the supplier. I apologize for the inconveniences this may have coursed, am so sorry.

    Best wishes.
    If you could get a better picture before you apply for another loan, it would help your chaces of being funded quickly. On the lenders page it shows just the top of a head and the wall.

    I thank my leaders for the second loan, i will use it for recapitalization to increase my stocks in the shop. i will buy bond paper, envelops, pen, pencil, mathematical sets, books and other stationery items. This will help me raise funds to buy a new photocopier machine.

    With my last loan i purchases stationery , bond paper, envelops, staples, pens and pencils, mathematical sets, manila paper, laminating pouches etc.
    This has made a big difference in my business because i got my stock at wholesale price in bulk and has since increased my earnings by 15% which has helped me pay for my sisters school feels. am no longer borrowing from my neighbors as i used to. thanks to zidisha
