About Me

iam a business minded and oriented person. Ever since i was young my dream was to have my own business. In secondary school i used to sell gadgets like phones and computers and the money i got from the sells i was able to save and after i completed secondary school i was able to use the money i saved to open up my own internet cafe and enter into poultry business. Eventually i started mobile money business which iam still doing now aswel as stationary. The businesses iam doing also helped me through college and further my studies after college.

My Business

i run a mobile money business, stationary shop and internet cafe. The internet cafe business helps me get additional income through the lecturing of clients who want to learn about the basic knowledge about computer application. Most of my clients are persons who have completed school who are eager to learn computers. others are business persons learning computer to gain knowledge that will help them in their business. in the cafe i also sell food stuffs and i have a stationary shop aswel. the money i get i use it to support my family and further my studies.

Loan Proposal

I will like to purchase a sewing machine to saw clothes with. I wish to start sewing clothes. I have an interest in sewing clothes and i have been wanting to own a sewing machine for me to saw clothes. I learnt the skill of sewing from my uncle but the fact that i dont have a sewing machine is affecting me because i want to start sawing aswell but i do not have enough money to buy a new one. I believe me owning a sewing machine will help me start up a business and help me aswell to fend for my family and aswel as me.

Income Source

I own a barber shop and my own mobile money business which are operational aswel as an internet cafe. These businesses have been allowed in the country in this time of corona virus and so they will help me pay back the loan in time without skipping a day.

    When you get the sewing machine, post a photo of you with the sewing machine. Also, get Jesper to take a better photo of you for your profile.

    Did you buy a genset? I wish you could buy solar panels. They are more expensive, but eventually they are paid and the sun is free. Best wishes to Jesper who I met online through Francis Mbewe.
