About Me

We are designers, me and my sister, we work hand in hand to design beautiful dresses for ladies. We have a shop as our designing place, and we have orders from all corners of lusaka, and we still need more materials for the same, i think few meters of clothes will do us good.However, this time around i expand the business and open another in the second class town of Lusaka city.Our country is beautiful and wonderful since independence there has not been any civil wars.Zambia has 73 tribes and every tribe has different culture and ceremonies in there chiefdoms and that are cerebrated yearly.Instance in our tribe we cerebrate ncwala ceremony and we ware the leopard which is a symbol of our cultural norms.My and I we wish our children to have better education for higher job in future

My Business

We design and sale our beautiful dresses at our shop and receive orders to design more for special occasions.This time we to expand and buy more material for making school unifroms targeting schools in the city of Lusaka.Thereby maximize our profits for future investmets,However we want to engage the government defence force to design badges and uniforms and also private companies who dress codes more especially work suits in food production industries, this will help us grow and become no. One designers in the city of Lusaka where alot business activities take place.However our business has grown now and we need another shop to rent because we want to buy a laundry machine and another tailoring machine so we can create jobs for the youths to work at our new shop due the growth of our Business.

Loan Proposal

We need USD 250 to help us purchase the laundry machine which will cost thousands of kwacha and this laundry machine will cost ZMK 4500, this will add value at our business because we alot customers who want clothing to look smart after we have done the sewing and the designing of their uniforms or suits.Definitely the laundry machine will add value and will stop most customers to go laundry business entities but stick us.Thereby generate more income for business.

Made a few payments early on, but has not been heard from since March 2018. In June 2020, I finally gave up and transferred the loan to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund.

Loan was originally scheduled to take 14 months to repay. Instead a final payment was made in less than three months. Good luck for your continued success.
