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

This Zidisha loan will be used to pay apart of the College fees for my son who is studying education courses as his wishes and dreams are to become a College Lecturer in education.
This is his third year in College,so the need to buy textbooks and other college needs are obvious and they need a quick attention.
I should also need to put some little cash into my grocery shop in order for me to raise enough cash to start repaying for this Zidisha loan,which I need to repay on time.
