my name is mayaba cheembela phiri,i was born in mfulira in the copperbelt province of zambia.my parents are named philllip cheembela and Ireen Cheembela.i was born in a family of six.im the third born.my father is a business man.i went to school at mufulira high school and i completed my grade twelve in 2002.i later went to college at evelyn hone college where i graduated with a diploma in human resource management.im currently in to business due to the high unemployment rates in zambia.i have a car wash just in the centre of choma town.i started this business a year ago and so far its doing fine.however im in need of some income to help boost my business.i decided to get into business because i need to look after my chilren and pay rentals and school fees.
my car wash business is located at choma town centre. at the car wash we specialise in cleaning cars effectively using hoovers and pressure washer.so far people are happy with my services.i usually get cleaning materials at wholesale price in lusaka and they cost me around $20 and these last for a month.and i pay for electricity which costs $20 per month.i also pay for water which costs $20 per month.in a day,i get about 15 cars and i charge $1.00 per car which gives me $15 per day.so at the end of a month i make about $450.i need the loan to boost my business by getting a larger hoover and pressure washer because the ones i have right now are domestic ones and the demand is geting high.the profits i make from my business are used to pay rent,bills and to take care of my two kids.
when i get the loan i will use the money to buy a new hoover and water spray gun for the car wash.the hoover costs, $100 and the water spray gun costs $85 dollars.il also get cleaning materials which costs$30.once i get these items il be able to run my business smoothly and earn more income because it means il be washing more cars!
