About Me

Am Rhoda Mwape, born in 1988, was born in Kitwe but grew up in Lusaka. went to School at Sarafina, a Private School form Grade one to Grade Nine. Thereafter, went to Mitanto High School back in Kitwe where i did my Grade Twelve. After completing Grade Twelve went to the University of Zambia for my tertiary education where i did Social Work. Am married with 1 Kid...
Am a hard working lady and this makes me overcome my hardships and finally saving is the most important of all. Have worked before, I did a party time job with the Central Statistical office Zambia and also worked as Customer Service Associate at MTN Zambia.
Now I want to concentrate on working for myself because i feel its better. Business if well taken care of is inherited, maybe my children can take it up once i improve it

My Business

Am into hiring out of Jumping Castles to people with Children Birthday parties, Children's, Party's and other gatherings. I started with one and have slowly growing. I want to see if through your help i can acquire more Jumping castles and by so doing i can be hiring them out at the same time and days, thereby increasing on my income.
Jumping Castles are on demand because nearly every Children's gathering parents always hire them. They are hired every weekend, sometimes twice in one weekend, so they are quite on demand.
I started this business because, you only buy the Jumping castle once and all you do is hire it out. The cost isn't too much on maintenance.
The first I bought was a second hand and i spend $150 and hire at between $30 and $40 depending with the client and have been hiring it out for 8 Months now.
Am planing on buying another second hand via my savings but thinking with your assistance i can get a Brand new for longer life span. Am not sure how much you will assist me with then i can add something look a new Jumping Castle

Loan Proposal

This Loan is intended to book for a place in the Kids Funfair which will be for three days. Am supposed pay $313 for that period, pay attendants (Monitors) to the Jumping castles some lunch & transport allowances about $15 per day. The castles will be assembled that side for three days and we hope to be making between $260 and $300 per day which will give us approximately $840 after the event. My plan is to move steps further in this business, after raising this much will do nothing but purchase a new Jumping Castle which in return will increase my customer base. i.e, i 'll have more than one Jumping castle hired out. This will help create some kind of simple employment to those monitoring the Jumping Castles. Let me once again thank you Zidisha, for this wonderful gesture of allowing us to have access to this Loans. These Loans will make a difference even to the people who are not directly connected to Zidisha in the sense that they 'll get an opportunity to be in simple employments

    I spoke to Rhoda, she is very committed to finish paying her loan its only that business has been very slow for her. I also explained to her about adjusting her repayment amount and she assured me she was going to look at it.

    Thank you so much Zidisha.

    This Loan will be very helpful in maintenance of my Inflators (Jumping Castles).
    Two of my Jumping castles had their blowers blown up and therefore I intend to replace them at the cost of $250 per blower which will cost about $500 for two blowers. The balance of the Loan will be used for other maintenance of the two jumping castles like buying the fittings to prevent air from liking.
    I once again thank you Zidisha for the gesture that you have taken to be helping us grow economically.

    Thank you so much Zidisha for your everlasting support as we have continued to progress. Just like i anticipated that my progress will grow a step ahead after receiving my previous loan, am just in the right track. I paid for the funfare which was for 4 days and managed to raise about $1400, purchased a jumping castle of about $770 and shipped from China to Zambia plus duty at a cost of $539. This has made my business to grow has I now have another castle which has made my income to be doubled each time my castles have been hired out. Once again thank you so much Zidisha, am so gratefully and keep up with the same spirit of helping us grow in our businessess
