About Me
Shwana Kawe,the man who was born on January 15,1964 during the independence struggle for Zambia, although I know a little about our struggle since I was too young not a baby to understand anything around. The knowledge,that ringers in me about our struggle is something just I learned from school and people around. Because of some difficulties my parents went through during that hard times,my parents had very limited resources such that,it was very difficult for them to take me to school. As a family and being the first born son,I was engaged into farming at a very tender age.
I am married man with six children.My third son is a student doing a Certificate in Education at Mufulira School Of Education and this is his second year. While the other three sons have keen interest in tailoring,the job I taught all my sons,since tailoring has been my in born job for years! And not only sons,I have also daughters but they are doing primary education now. second son is having interest in mechanical engineering.
My wife and children helps out in the shop whenever, am out attending to other demands that comes through to keep us moving forward.
My Business
We have a shop and we sell almost everything in our small community and we have so many customers since we are central located.As you may see from my profile pictures,we stock a number of groceries such as- Soaps of any kind,Mealie meal,Calling cards,Food stuff etc.
Apart from a grocery shop,I do tailoring the job that has been my in born thing since my childhood and I can't live in full without it in my life.This job gives me some everyday incomes although they are small but they really help me out and my family to keep us going forward,like paying for school fees for my children and also put food on the table.
Loan Proposal
Thanks to my capable lenders for being able to assist me with the Zidisha loans which have been so helpful in my grocery business,I have been able to support my family with the needs as well as able to repay my lenders on time.
I would like to make grocery orders as the items in my shop are running out,they need to be replaced.I will use part of the Zidisha loan money to buy the items such as pens,books,boxes of soap,sugar etc as well as transporting them to the shop.
I will be able to repay you my lenders on time as usual in the hope that,you will be able to loan me a bigger amount in future.
