About Me

I am a young lady aspiring to be a successful business person in future, I am the second born in our family. I live with my parents. I completed school in 2015 and was employed as an insurance agent after completing computer course. The pay was not that good and given our parent's background it will be a a struggle having them take me through a college. This has forced me to work to ensure that I will come out successful. My parents have other siblings who are still in school and I have thought of having a business of my own which will enable me earn income.

My Business

I do sell women clothes to ladies and my friends at large. i get supply form friends and then do make inquiries from my friends to see whether they can buy an then sell them at profit.
I dont have enough money to enable me hire a room from where I can operate permanently, again since I am still working I will be forced to employ somebody to take care of my business. This is the reason that my business is active on the weekends where i lay my clothes in an open space on Saturdays and Sundays and sell the clothes. Sometimes I talk to my friends and do direct selling.

Loan Proposal

Mihango centre is usually busy over the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and it’s during this time that I am off, with Saturday being the designated market day; I would wish to have additional stock so that during these days I can have more clothes to sell. Time over time I will slowly build my stock and hopefully I can be attending marker days. The loan from Zidisha is about USD 27 and if I also add my USD 25, I will have enough to take to the market. This has advantage in me since I don’t incur extra expenses e.g. transport and rent.

    The loan term was 5 months, and after 6 months, Lucy has not made a single payment.

    Hi Lucy
    I see you have missed all of your payments, I just want to give you a tip about Zidisha, it is better to make small payments rather than none at all. Zidisha has grown very fast so not all loans are funded, if lenders see a high repayment rate they are more likely to lend to you in the future. Zidisha is a very valuable tool to a businesswoman such as yourself and offers a great opportunity to grow your business and perhaps start another. Do not lose this chance by not making your repayments on time. You can change the amount of your payments at any time by logging into your account. Best of luck to you. Regards, Margaret

    Hi Lucy,
    I see you have missed several payments. Please remember it is better to make small payments rather than none at all so you can continue to borrow from Zidisha in the future. You can change your payment schedule by logging into your account. Regards, Margaret
