About Me

IM LILLIAN CHIKOTI, I DID MY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL ON THE COPPERBELT. I DID MY AGRICULTURE COURSE HERE IN LUSAKA. THEN I DID MY SOCIAL WORK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA. I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING A PROJECT FOR ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO AND SIX GRAND CHILDREN. I AM A WIDOW AND I JUST SET UP A SMALL BUSINESS TO SUSTAIN ME AND MY FAMILY. I NEEDED MORE CAPITAL TO HELP IN THE GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS. I LOVE TO GO OUT IN MY COMMUNITY AND IDENTIFY WAYS IN WHICH I CAN ASSIST THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN.

My Business

MY SOURCE OF INCOME IS MAINLY FROM THE SMALL BUSINESS THAT I AM RUNNING. I AM TRADING IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF GOODS AND SERVICES. I SELL GROCERIES, FOOD STUFF AND BEAUTY PRODUCTS. I IDENTIFIED THAT PEOPLE IN MY AREA HAD TO TRAVEL FAR TO OBTAIN THESE GOODS AND SERVICES. I USUALLY HAVE TO PAY RENTALS FOR THE PLACE I AM USING FOR TRADING AS I HAVE NOT BOUGHT MY OWN YET. THE PROFITS I GET ARE USED FOR SCHOOL FEES AND UPKEEP AT HOME. ANY EXTRA GOES TO HELP THE VULNERABLE AND INVESTMENTS.
