About Me

My names are Hopson lupiya. Fun fact my surname Lupiya means money. I was born in humble family of 6 and I am the first born child. My mother is the one that is responsible for all the 6 of us since our father is a drunk. With every single note he finds he uses it for alcohol. I noticed how hard it has been for my mom to take care of all of us hence I decided to start up a business in order to help support her and meet the day to day need for our family

My Business

since there was little to no money for capital for me to start my business I figured instead of stressing mum for the money I started using my talent. I use wood and timber to craft some Zambian culture beads Lily flowers and animals like elephants giraffes that tourists like. When I craft that I paint them and then I start selling as that will only require talent instead of money for capital. I have been selling these beads and animals and Zambian artistics symbols lake Victoria falls elephant horns a year now and the business is moderate as I am able to help my mother out here and there.

Loan Proposal

When I get this money I want to buy some equipments which I am not having as at now now there was that I need to continue the crafting and also paint for painting things like a zebra and elephant for attraction. As add now I do not have all that is needed to make proper craft things. For the past year I have been compromising and using knives needles to cover up and try earn money since I cannot afford proper equipment

Income Source

I understand to say the only thing that follows borrowing money is repaying and so even as I am boring I have kept in mind as to where I'm supposed to get the money to repay I have informed my mother about it and she has paid some money in case there's any risk with my business I will get money from her and repay.
