About Me

My name Eneya Nalungwe born in 1980 in Lusaka Garden House. I completed my grade 12 level in Mufirila ,copperbelt pronvice where i was staying with my auntie after the passing on of my parents. I have to struggle moving up and down looking for the money for my school fees, until i finally met my friend who asked me to help her with her business. I leant alot in her business of selling second hand clothes and she also helped me to pay for my exams, until i completed. I am now married with 2 children but my husband has not been getting enough to support the family. So i had to look for some money and opened a business i knew better.I love playing with children and take them to jumbing castles and boat riding.Zambia is a good country it has been peaceful since independence.

My Business

I am currently selling second hand clothes called "Salaula" in our local language. its a good business where our community are able to have there cheap clothing of their choice. I am more experienced now since i know what type of clothing they want. In one bandle of Salaula, i am able to make $400 after spending $150 as capital. I have seen it to be growing fast and i think it will help me and the entire family with school issues which has been a problem to everyone, and non of us in the family has never been to college. so i am asking Zidisha to help so that i can manage to send my siblings to college and myself too.Hence i want to go to Tanzania's Darlasalaam to buy mini container of second hand clothing so that i can increase daily revenue as well helping my family financially.

Loan Proposal

Thank you My Lenders for the previous Loan, Now i need the next loan amount ZMW 2,854.00 for the orders of Salaula (second hand clothes), to boost my business further.This will help me more and i will also extend my business to other towns. And i will employ some one to help me sale in another town. Thanks my Lenders and Zidisha team for the wonderful support.

    I was surprised to see this loan paid off in less than two months when it was scheduled to take ten months. I am pleased that your business is going so well.

    Hi Eneya :-)

    I was wondering if you possibly had any contact with Justina Tembo? I don't usually follow up in this way, but I have been trying to contact her for nearly a year now, and I am starting to think she has just run away...

    I thought I would message you, because Justine was invited by Alice Banda, who was invited by Lovemore Mushaba (who are all not paying back their loans). But I noticed you were close by & in touch with Lovemore, plus you seemed so lovely & reliable :-)

    I hope you don't mind me messaging... Hopefully you have some sort of contact that may be able to get in touch with Justina...

    Here are zidisha profile's that may be helpful:
    Justina Tembo: www.zidisha.org/loan/need-m...
    Alice Banda: www.zidisha.org/loan/loan-t...
    Lovemore Mushaba: www.zidisha.org/loan/loan-t...

    Wishing you all the best Eneya :-) Even if you can't help, thank you for being such a great member of zidisha all the same... Its a pleasure having you be such a great member of the community :-) All the best, Emma from Australia.

    I did purchase 5 extra bundles of second hand clothing and also Building materials for the renovations of our family house.Indeed the Zidisha loan made a big difference, weekly sales i use to generate approximately $70 but now am able to generate $150 .Hence i use the weekly earnings to grow the business and ensure that there is sustainable growth and improve the standard of living.

      Dear Eneya,

      It can take up to 3 business days, US Eastern Time, for a repayment to be credited to your account.

      After that time, if the payment hasn’t been credited please create a support ticket with the following details:
      - Date you made the payment
      - Payment amount
      - Phone number or account number you used to send the payment
      - Transaction ID of your payment

      Also check the payments of the previous loans. Sometimes an payment of a few month ago isn’t recorded. Then it only looks if a current payment isn’t recorded but it is booked correctly and is shown on the old loan where there is a missing payment.

      So check carefully which payments aren’t recorded and then create a support ticket using the help menu (www.zidisha.org/borrower/help) with the correct info.

      Kind regards,
      Joost
      Team Zidisha

    Thanks Gertjan de Gruijter, for your response, but what i want you know is that the current credit limit is incorrect because when i did receive the current am holding of ZMK 8912 my next credit limit increased to ZMK 15, 788 including both the bonus of completing in good time and the bonus of V/M.

    Kindly have a closer look of credit limit, from the time received the current am holding on the 25/10/2017 the credit limit increased from ZMK 8912 to ZMK 15,788.Suddenly i got surprised this Tuesday my credit limit reduced to ZMK 10,212 and this is the main reason why am writing to complain the sudden change or reduction of my credit limit.

    Could you kindly reverse the credit limit the way it was suppose to be.

    Kind regards,
    Eneya Nalungwe
