My names are Hopson lupiya. Fun fact my surname Lupiya means money. I was born in humble family of 6 and I am the first born child. My mother is the one that is responsible for all the 6 of us since our father is a drunk. With every single note he finds he uses it for alcohol. I noticed how hard it has been for my mom to take care of all of us hence I decided to start up a business in order to help support her and meet the day to day need for our family
since there was little to no money for capital for me to start my business I figured instead of stressing mum for the money I started using my talent. I use wood and timber to craft some Zambian culture beads Lily flowers and animals like elephants giraffes that tourists like. When I craft that I paint them and then I start selling as that will only require talent instead of money for capital. I have been selling these beads and animals and Zambian artistics symbols lake Victoria falls elephant horns a year now and the business is moderate as I am able to help my mother out here and there.
I am very happy with the way this organization is willing to help and support me. When I get this loan I will use it to make my business even more swifter. Since I was only able to get 2 equipments with the last loan.
I want to get more equipments. My business is increasing and people want more of my cultural crafts and so I need to make more of them
Economic climate risks are unpredictable and so if my business does not go as planned I will just get my savings money an return the loan but I am pretty sure that I will run my business smoothly
