About Me
I am a zambian woman born in 1969. I was born southern province of Zambia in Mazabuka District Village Hamweenda. I grew up under difficult life as life in zambian villages is tough. my parents tried they could in order to educate me but the sponsorship was not enough as we depended on farming. However, I ended my education in grade seven. From there, I got married and at the moment I have nine children. IN 1972 I VENTURED IN BUSINESS AS IT WAS THE ONLY WAY OF LIFE AS MY HUSBAND IS JOBLESS.
My Business
I STARTED MY BUSINESS IN 1972, ON A SMALL SCALE. I BUY MAIZE IN BULK AND SELL IN TOWNS. I ALSO SELL ROLL MAIZE AS IT IS ON DEMAND BY ALMOST EVERYONE IN MY COMMUNITY. I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS BECAUSE IT SUPPORTED BY EVERYONE AND THE DEMAND IS ALWAYS HIGH. HOWEVER, THE PROFITS I MAKE I USE IT TO INVEST IN MY BUSINESS AND ALSO SUPPORT MY FAMILY AND TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
Loan Proposal
IF THIS LOAN IS DISBURSED, I WOULD LIKE TO BUY MAIZE IN BULK ALL WORTHY $200 USD AND THE REMAINING WILL BE USED FOR TRANSPORTATION TO THE MARKET AREA. HOWEVER THIS LOAN WILL REALLY BOOST MY BUSINESS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE PROFIT THAT I WILL BE RAISING WILL INCREASE. THIS WILL BENEFIT MY FAMILY A ALSO AS THE PROFIT MADE WILL BE USED TO REPAY MY LOAN AND SUPPORT M Y FAMILY INCLUDING SCHOOL FEES FOR MY CHILDREN.
