About Me

My name Avinash Sawant. I was born in Mumbai ,India. But my parents later came back to Zambia. I completed my grade 12 in year 2000. We are two brother and one sister. It was difficult for my parents to provide to all three children. We as family worked hard to upgrade and to get educated. I like to help people with best of my abilities. My hobby is listening music . I like to spend time to upgrade my knowledge so that I can help people in better way.

My Business

After completing my grade 12 I was working in optician shop in Livingstone as sales person. I learned about different eye problems and how they are corrected with help of glasses. I learned most common problem in adult is for reading close and it can easily corrected with reading glasses. Due to some reason optician shop in Livingstone was closed. As I came back to Choma I realised , I can help community as well earn good money by selling reading glasses. Little money I saved from my salary I started selling reading glasses. Its been good business. But now I need more money to buy new stock as prices goibg up due to poor kwacha against $

Loan Proposal

I will buy more reading glasses with different type as ordinary reading glasses, tinted reading glasses, bifocal reading glasses. As well I need to buy some accessories for glasses like holding cords,cleaning clothes, pouches. Its cost around 3 $ to 5$ for each item. More variety will attaract more customer as well help to fulfill their needs.
