About Me

Samuel Zimba born in Lusaka city, the capital city of Zambia in the year 1977.

There is nothing that so great and gratifying than to have a meal bought for oneself as for me. And this has been my driving force for all that I have learnt and achieved in my life journey. Thus, am not much in agreement with handouts but rather the sweat of my body or in other terms, the fruits of my labour and ideas.

And by God's grace again I managed to do a good number of different online programs or rather courses as I was working with Society for Family Health. And this time the family started increasing the dependence on me to be giving helping hand for sustenance in most situations. Thankfully I have at least a UNZA diploma besides some other programs have done. And am currently so much inclined into doing integrated farming to raise the finance standard in the family to the level that my children wouldn't pass through my life situation exactly I did.

My Business

I have a kiosk for groceries and clothes at home which has been sustaining us. There are assorted items such electrical appliances, electrical.Besides the mentioned business which is being done at home ,I have ventured into farming for just a while now. And the farming am doing is intergrated farming. Am learning alot in the same.
So far so good. The goats population is increasing steadily at the settlement and the ducks. Am really enjoying the goat farming. I would love to mix my goats with sheep,; which am preparing.

Loan Proposal

I want the loan to buy the roofing materials do the roofing. I have some materials already but I would like to shift now aftre roofing the house. the following are the required materails for the house which we have been building from the scratch with the help of zidisha loan up to this level.
1- roofing sheets 34 pieces 4.7 metres * K350 = K11 900.
2- roofing nails 15 kgs 4" inches * K50 = K 750
3- round bars Y 16 * 32 * K140 = K 4 480
4- J hooks 15 kgs * K70 = K 1 050
5- two main doors 2 * K800 = K 1 600
6- cements 10 bags * 50 kgs * K75 = K 750
7- labour agreed with the builder is = K 3 500
Then total comes K 24 030 and this would mean that I woud roof the house and shift in it and in turn this would reduce my monthly rental expenses which would be diverted to other projects and paying of the loan.

Beside what i have mentioned above am working so the wages would compensate for the shortfall.

    Morning.
    Just missed a lot and not proud of everything that I have been going through but proud that Zidisha is what it is for others.
    I believe soon to start again the payments.

    My business has not been doing well lately. And am not happy about because it has affected me in many ways especially with my loan. I have been up and doing. I believe all will be well soon...my current labour will soon yield results.

    This is how far the i have gone with building of the house. just thought sharing my progress.

  • Samuel    Nov 21, 2019

    Thank you, for the normal follow up, being made through the contacts being used, my mentor talked to me.... and as I indicated I will definitely start making payments missed next week. The delayment has been to due the delayed wages I have been waiting for , because the business, after shifting into the house we are building, has gone down. Thus, the only money am depending on as at now is my salary.
    We will get paid as the promise by management by Friday next week.

    I will start the repayment next week. I was just hooked with the focus of roofing the house. Of which I have managed to do so. And I was rarely on internet...but starting this week I will start the repayment for certain.

    Still having so challenges because of some pressures completing the final touches of the house.

  • Samuel    Sep 1, 2019

    I have pressure on finalizing the roofing materials and the current funds would help to make payment as usual.

  • Samuel    Aug 17, 2019

    The money was disbursed into my account but my zidisha account doesn't show the repayment schedule. Beside it doesn't show any indication of me receiving the money. Is everything okay?

  • Samuel    Jul 30, 2019

    Thank you so much for the consideration once again for the loan. I really appreciate your help.

    Log in to reply • Share
  • Samuel    Jul 25, 2019

    The previous loan helped me to buy bags of cements, round bars or rather deformed bars, crushed stones, building sand, river sand, planks, steel nails and compact boards for finalizing of the ring beam.
    And the other money was paid for labour for the work done. The house has now reached the roofing level. Here attached are the photos of the level I have reached.
