About Me

Am George Kapika born in a family of 6 and am the first born. I studied Information Processing-diploma, currently doing business and a farmer living in the copperbelt province, town:Mufulira , country: Zambia.

My Business

Selling phones and accessories has been my business for 4 years and some months now, am established and known in this business. I have customers everyday and some even make orders because of the trust that exists between I and the customers. Apart from phones and accessories business also I do vegetable and maize farming, this has also been my passion which really helps me and my family in terms of food security. And this time around I have diversified my crop farming from the usual one of growing maize and vegetables to chili(hot peppers) that have a higher value when it comes to selling at the market. Chili(hot peppers) farming is the project am working on right now and also trying to expand phone & accessories business.

Loan Proposal

I want this loan to help me buying another set or bunch of seedlings to expand my field. The previous loan I got amounting to k333 was not enough according to the plans that I have set for the production of hot peppers in my field. I thank you a lot because I managed to buy some with the same money you lended to me. This time around I want this loan to continue from the previous one ended, this is in view of extension I want to expand the field so that when the time of harvest comes I will havest in big quantities that will even increase the income or money at the market.

Income Source

Exactly in this global pandemic of Covid 19 many businesses are struggling. But for me I have developed a very good business relation strategy with my customers, with the existence of 4 years plus in business my customers have trusted me genuinely. They always everyday walk in my shop to buy phones and accessories such as: batteries, phone covers/pouches, screen protectors, head sets and other gadgets. People can't live or survive without phones nowadays and I have taken an advantage of the current situation by supplying what they need most after food. I understand even if it's lockdown but people in their homes they will rely on their phones for communication so the more they are using their phones the less life span of their phones, gadgets so they everyday walk into my shop to buy.
