About Me

My name is Mirriam Mushisha. I was born in 1995 from a very good and decent family. Am the fourth child of five. I started my grade one in 2003 and completed in 2013. I have not attended any univerisity due to some hardships but am pretty sure by the time they will be enrolling for our intake, I should be onrolled . firstly, am a hard working and dedicated lady. second, am a friendly, sociable person. And finally,I have condemned myself to be a success.
Completing my senior secondary school was not an easy thing for me. I had to walk long distance for me to in school but here I am,I managed.I had to be in school from morning up to sunset without food. my food was my books.I was able to get a part time job just after my grade twelve and am still managing it well.
Due to my salary being to little,I was not able to satisfy all my needs and I was not content,so I had to start small,I started ordering second hand cloths from Lusaka and sold them at higher price.Wow it was exciting ,my improved and am able to get anything for my self and keeping money for school.

My Business

At least am able to order cloths and sell them double the usual amount, Not only do I orser cloths but I sell nice hair for ladies,by the end of the day am able to make a k100,after work. I decided to choose this type of business because I thought about it,made a plan and it was good. It has profit. I really love were i come from because people are so supportive and are always there to celebrate other peoples success. My costs to all that I sell are good and fair,therefore people enjoy it. For my profit I managed it well. I just get my tithe from it and the rest to the bank for school. There s nothing much to waist money for. Am happy to inform my lenders that i was able to open another shop in a different area and would love to improve it more. All thanks to our lenders.

Loan Proposal

Am going to order cloths for k300, the other k68 will be for my tranport. I believe out of this loan I will make double the amount am getting, and I will emprove. I know by the end of this month am going to get myself staff for school. My profit will be double the amount am getting.
