About Me

My names are sekwila saint ,i was born in 1990 and raised in zambia by both my parents,
I started my grade one from Emasdele Basic school of Lusaka,Zambia and completed my secondary level from Kamwala High school,before i was a Chef i went through a lot of ups and downs concerning Financial especially when it comes to raise them,having faith with a positive mind set,
When i started my business my first capital could only buy two chicken's and one bottle of cooking oil ,but being unique in my cooking made me have more customers.
My land is a high flat one and land locked at the same time with a lot of green vegetation,my daughter wants to be a Doctor when she grows up and as for me my hobby is actually Music

My Business

I sale foods such as fried chicken,potato salads,Nshima which happens to be our zambian stapple food,i offer coooking lessons and hygiene ,these are useful in helping people have healthy bodies,develop our mother land africa and world at large,land rent and transport are kind of a straggle ,i use my profits to invest more in my business,pay for my daughters school and rent.

Loan Proposal

I have come to understand that having a lot of different ideas in business helps in terms of lot when it come to financial stability.Hence forth, I thought it wise that with the loan aim going to get,i want to buy a chicken Sharwama machine and a popcorn machine. I will put the two machines in a different location away from my place of work which I believe will generate a lot of income.
I already have the stands for the machines and all the necessities are already in place just a matter of buying the machines (chicken charisma and popcorn machine). I already have the quotation from the store's in town just awaiting to get them.
I will be very grateful if my proposal to you my lenders if my proposal will be put into your consideration,for I can not just wait to start my new business.
I also believe that the income will help me sort out my some of my bills such as school fees for my nephew and my daughter.
Thanking you in advance as I await for the quickest funding.Thanks.

    He further explained that he has overcome some of these challenges and so he plans to start making repayments towards his loan this week. Thank you.

    Hello Lenders,

    I have not managed to get a hold of Sekwila, his lines are all not going through. However, I did manage to speak to the lady who invited him to join Zidisha and she has assured me that she will get into contact with him and ask him to contact me so that he can begin to make repayments towards his loan. I have given the lady my mobile line. Thank you.
