About Me

Dear Lenders, i am Justina Tembo, born in a family of 4 and i am the second born. I am a mother of 1 child and already my child is in school because i am a Teacher by professional, i have made it that way so that he becomes clever quickly. I was trained for free to be a community teacher because i volunteered to be teaching the young ones especially the orphans in our community and now i opened a night school for the mothers who have never been to school and i am charging them ZMW25 weekly and the number has increased and the demand for seats is on my neck. They are performing well in my class and they are learning how to read and write so fast. I am so happy and impressed. As my life has not been all that good during my childhood, i had alot of issues with my step mother where i was not encouraged to work hard at school and i used to spend most of my time in her businesses in markets. But thank God i finished my high school although my results were poor, and i will be seating for exams again soon.
Actually, it has been my dream to own a classroom like this where i really wanted to contribute to the community the good works as a teacher. Women are very happy and they go on telling others to come and join. This will make them educated and even find it easy to go for training in any field they would want to. The land and the culture of the people in our community is so good, they are involved in farming mostly and the land is so good for farming .

My Business

I am doing Teaching and i have two classes i am handling, the orphans and adults like mothers who have never been to school and they come in the afternoon for their lessons, and many of them have already been able to read and write just after 6 months in class. This has happened to be a wake up call for every mother and even fathers who are willing to join.

Loan Proposal

I will buy more study material for my teaching to be easy, as they are currently sharing few study material and i find it had to be fast in teaching, so i want everyone to be able to participate at once because the number keeps on increasing. I will get them from from the nearest books store at a cheap price. And i will only use 300 for 12 text books for my Learners to manage.

    Are you out there Justina?

    I've almost lost hope... Please at least just message something so we know you're not a ghost...

    You sounded like such a lovely human... Please just send some sort of message so I don't feel so silly...

    I still believe in you, but am starting to think may be you've just run away... & that makes me sad.

    Its completely fine that you're late, please just let me know you have some intention of paying this back at some point... I am happy to be patient :-) I just want to know you're still there...

    I still hope life is making you smile...
    All the best, Emma from Australia.

    I haven't given up on you yet Justina :-)

    I was the main lender, loaning $20, which is much more than I usually lend to anyone... But you sounded like such a wonderful person, I wanted to do whatever I could to help support you... I still haven't lost faith... But please do at least just communicate how you're going, even if you can't make payments, at least let me know how you're going...

    Life can be rough sometimes, its completely understandable... But please communicate so I don't feel so silly... Its the silence that makes us lose hope... But I haven't lost faith in you yet :-) Nearly though, so please just show us you're not a ghost...

    Wishing you the best Justinah, Emma.

    Dear my wonderful Lender, I managed to buy the plastic chairs after receiving my Loan. Thank you very much and the number of pupils has increased and that means more income.
