About Me

I'm a fourth born in the family of eight. I was born and bred in Mpika a small town in the Northern province of Zambia. Upon completion of my grade twelve I ventured into a small business. I raised some supplement for my college costs. I'm currently working for the mining company. I am now married living with a kid.I like making gardens and I have lived like that so gardening to me is my hobby because there is no single day that have passed without me doing a garden.

My Business

If I'm funded I'll be able to buy
100 chicks which cost about $120,I run two small businesses. I have a hardware store and a poultry business. My plan is to get into business full-time and leave my full-time job. So I have decided to join zidisha so that I can be able to increase my capital base.
So far I have a contract with a restaurant am supposed to be supplying 60 chicken pay month. This will give a profit of $200 if I sale 100 chicken.I want to be buying 100 chicks twice in a month or 200 in a month which will be costing $240.
I use some of the profits I make to pay school fees for my niece at college who is studying clinical medicine at Zambia medical university.

Loan Proposal

If I get a loan I will be able to buy chicks for my poultry and medicine to use in preventing diseases and curing. 100 chicks $50. Chick formula $2, stress mix $3,interflox $5,multi vitamin $5,disinfecter $7and broiler starter $23 the rest l will use for transport.
This will make me start raising health birds because medicine and feed will be readily available
Am expecting my business to increase by 50% because I will reduce mortality rate and the number of chicken will increase.

    I'm unable to pay the current instalment, my business got stuck when I was delayed in receiving the loan, which I was supposed to receive within 24 hours but it came 2 weeks later. I hope you will bear with me and I pray that I finish this within the schedule and that it doesn't affect the credit limit.

    I'm going to buy 10 pockets of cement, sand, stones and pay for labour cost, all these at a total cost of $308. It will help me to renovate a chicken house which has no floor on the other part. I really appreciate all your efforts in making sure that my project is funded.
