About Me

I am Barbara Wamungo a young lady based in Kasama Zambia. I completed my secondary school and proceeded to The Copperbelt University but due to financial hardships did not manage to complete. I am a 3rd born in a family of 8. I overcame these hardships by engaging in a Business for the past 1 year in order for me to continue sustaining my needs and hoping to one day manage to pay my remaining tuition fee in order to complete my Degree program because I was in my last year and just needed to sit for my final examinations. I am not married and do not have any child yet.

My Business

I order and sell fresh fish from Lake Tanganyika. I sell fish in Kasama a distant town from where I order from because here fish is very much on demand and lack of funds makes us the suppliers to be few in the town. The Fish business is on demand and appropriate for me because the profit margin is always at 50%. The profits I make are used to buy food, reinvestment and saving so that one day I can complete my Degree program.

Project Proposal

With this funding, I will be able to order more fish to supply to my customers. I order fresh fish from Lake Tanganyika and sale in Kasama. The profit will help me to sustain myself, the business and my family. I expect to make over 60% of my current earnings.

    I would like to thank my backers because I managed to order fish and supplied to a number of clients. My profit raised a bit even though I still need to grow and access better funding.
