About Me

my name is sandra lumbongo.i was born in 1991 in kalomo.i grew up in kalomo.i went to primary school at shampade primary school fromm grade 1 to 7.i did my secondary school at chuundu high school from grade 8 to 12.i completed my grade twelve in 2015.after i completed grade twelve i strted workin as an agent at MTN.i been working for two years now as an agent.im married with two kids.a girl and a boy.my husband is.my husband is a shopkeeper.my hobbies are cooking,reading and baking.i love choma its a nice town and a good community with good people.

My Business

my business involves selling beans,rice,kapenta and dry fish.The money that iv been getting at MTN as an agent is not enough for me and my family so i decided that as i work,i do business as well.i have a small stand in town opposite finance bank where i sell my merchandise.my young sister helps me to sell during week days and i sell on weekends when im not working.i normally order my rice and beans from lusaka.the dry fish i get it from sinazongwe as well as the kapenta.most of my clients are those that live on the outskirts of choma because they like buying dry foods which cannot go bad even where there are no fridges in the rural areas.the money i make i help my husband with house rent as well as food and other basic needs for out children,right now i would like to rent a shop because the place im operating from is not conducive.i paid for a shop for three months therefore i do not have enough money to buy the things for selling.my friends told me about zidisha and i decided to apply.this time i would like to also start selling fresh fish so im thinking of buying a deep freezer wher il be putting the fish.im still applying for a loan because i havent yet finished paying for the fridge.

Loan Proposal

when i get this loan i will order more fish and kapenta so that i can raise money to pay for the deep freezer.From the ZMW450 am likely to raise ZMW450.that means that il have a 100% profit.il use the profit to pay for the freezer
