About Me

My name is Lexinah Phiri. I was born on 9th January, 1996 in Mazabuka town. i started school in 2002 at Mazabuka primary school. I did my secondary school at Mazabuka girls secondary school and I completed in 2013. I am the first born in the family of three girls. I am currently working for Shoprite Mazabuka in order for me to raise school fees for my tertiary education. I have a small grocery shop in Nakambala market; the income helps me support my family in one way or another. I help my parents pay school fees for my two younger sisters. It is not not easy being the first born especially where your parents are struggling.

My Business

I have a small grocery shop in Nakambala market. I ventured into this kind of business because everyone needs groceries in their houses. The profit I get from my grocery shop helps me in contributing school fees for my two younger sisters. The salary I get from my job in Shoprite helps me buy stock for my shop.

Loan Proposal

This will be my second loan with Zidisha. The first one I used to buy stock for my shop. The profits I made helped me support my family. In the same way, I would like to use the loan I am applying for now to restock my shop.
