About Me

my name is Gaye Mwelwa. I am 34 years old. i am married and have 3 children, all girls. I live in kitwe on the copperbelt province of Zambia. I run a small grocery shop which I would one day like to see grow into something big. I am grateful to be part of this team.

My Business

I run a small grocery shop near my home. it has assorted items needed for daily household necessities like salt, cooking oil, juice etc. I also have bread and snacks for the kids. drinks are the major contributor to my profits.

Loan Proposal

I intend to get more stocks for my shop as there is a growing demand lately and I don't want to be running out. I am also looking at getting another branch in another area

Income Source

Apart from the shop I have a full time job. I am an accounting officer in the ministry of General Education. I have been working for the ministry for over 5years.

    My shop closed due to lack of business. I would like to make a request to start paying in 5 monthly installments

    Dear lenders,

    I spoke with Gaye who explained that she will make a repayment towards her loan soon as she is still looking for a new location for her stole. Thank you.

    My shop closed down due to no business. Prices of commodities have gone up meaning that my prices have gone up but my target market are unable to manage with the new prices so I’m barely making sales. Need to look for a new location to start my business in.

    The loan I have just payed off helped me aquire a variety of new stock for the shop which attracted a lot of customers. Hence the reason I have paid it off earliar than expected. I want to buy more stocks to grow the business.
