About Me

I AM A YOUNG ZAMBIAN AGED 25, MARRIED WITH 2 CHILDREN, BOTH BOYS. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN BUSINESS AT OUR MAIN FLEA MARKET IN NDOLA CALLED MASALA MARKET (ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN ZAMBIA). I DEAL MOSTLY IN A GRADE SECOND HAND CLOTHING (SALAULA) AND FOOD STUFFS (FISH, SARDINES, BEANS AND OTHER DRYS).

MY BIGGEST DRIVE IS THE FACT THAT EVEN NOW IN THIS AGE, BUSINESS IS STILL CONSIDERED TO BE MOSTLY A PRESERVE OF THE MENFOLK. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT AND THAT IS WHY I JOINED MY HUSBAND IN THE BUSINESS HE WAS DOING AND DECIDED IF POSSIBLE TO TAKE THE LEADING OLE WHILE HE CONCENTRATES ON WORKING A FORMAL JOB SO WE CAN TAKE A DOUBLE PRONGED APPROACH TO INCOME GENERATION. HE HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE SO FAR AND I AM CERTAIN WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR GOALS

My Business

RIGHT NOW I DEAL IN A-GRADE SECOND HAND CLOTHING. I ONLY CONCENTRATE ON HIGH QUALITY CLOTHING WHICH I CAN DISPLAY AT THE FLEA MARKET BUT WHICH IS ALSO FIT TO BE PUT IN A BOUTIQUE.

Loan Proposal

I WILL USE THE LOAN TO RESTOCK AND EXPAND MY CLOTHING BUSINESS OF SECOND HAND CLOTHING AT THE MAIN FLEA MAKET IN NDOLA, ZAMBIA

    I have spoken to Noliva's spouse, he explained that Noliva's has been unwell and hasn't been operating her business hence the delay in repayment. She is now recovery and promised to start paying within a week . Thanks for your support!
