On-time repayments
1 installment • 100%
My name is Chomba Ackson in Chembe, Zambia. I am a disabled man with one leg amputated, I got hit by a car in 2019 as I was on my way to church. I even have police and hospital reports, I am married with 5 children. I do face a challenge in terms of making moves because I don't have a wheelchair for the one I use sometimes I just do borrow from someone and at times rent it. Even although I work as a teacher I also have a challenge of putting food on the table for my family because my business has not yet grow due to lack of not having enough capital and because of my condition and my salary is not that effective, on the other hand my wife sells tomatoes and vegetables. But we do manage by the grace of God.
Even if I have a job, I need something to supplement my salary. There is so much I can do and make money on the side. One day, this side hustle could become my full time job and only source of income. I Take time to work on my little business on the side and make it better. I have a grocery store that I am running with my wife
I use my weekends very well, because I spend weekends working on my business and making it better. I Don't want to become a destitute when I lose a job. When I lose my job, I still remain a man and head of my home. I will still remain a provider. Make hey while the some shines.
After Expenses atleast we do remain with 1200ZMW and make 800ZMW profit per week. We need your help Zidisha in order for our business to be boosted and grow bigger and more.
I am a disabled man with one leg amputated, and I find it difficult to move fast also in making holders for my goods and services, so my plan is by the end of this year I have to purchase a wheelchair which will be easier for me to do my business and work. Please help me and my family by supporting me with funds and help me fundraise not only on this project, but also the coming ones which I will be raising after completing the other one. Thank you!
