About Me

My Name is David Banda I am a 21 year old Male of Lusaka. In the year 2016 my family got a very big tragedy as both of my parents perished in a fatal road traffic accident in Kapiri Mposhi. During that time I was doing my grade 10 at Kafue Boys secondary school. With no financial aid or insurance I was forced to drop out of school to vent for my younger siblings aged 12 and 8 respectively. Luckily my parents had a grocery store in Kapiri Mposhi where they resided and so my siblings and I had to relocate to Lusaka permanently with the aid of the saved income I was able to open a grocery store which has supported my siblings through primary school and secondary school. I am also attending night school as my dream is to finish my secondary school education

My Business

My business is a simple grocery store which stocks different kinds of groceries ranging from house hold food stuffs to house hold tools like brooms and mops. In my part time I also work as an electrician, I am able to fix broken appliances such as fridges and stoves. I plan on studying electrical engineering when God gives me the chance

Loan Proposal

Good day to you . I run a successful grocery store located in the heart of misisi compound in St Catherines road. With this loan i am applying for, i am going to buy groundnuts from city market and then roast them and prepackage them for sell in my shop. i sell dry snacks like crackers, scones and groundnuts as well as groceries in my store.

Income Source

I have never faced any downfall or reduction in sales in my store because misisi compound is a fast paced township with people always being on the move. The area is also very populated so i always have customers flooding my shop as early as 6 AM in the morning.

    Thieves broke into my store over the weekend and I lost most of my merchandise in the process. I will need to secure the store with more locks so that I can get back on track. I promise to fulfill my payments like always. Please pardon me dear lenders

    Good day dear lenders , I just wanted to express gratitude on what you are doing for me. As a young man with younger siblings to take care of, it has been hard to separate the profits from the day to day necessities needed at home thanks to this forum you have given me the opportunity to source capital from not only my business but from you. I will forever be grateful
