About Me

My name is Wisdom Malambo, I live in Kitwe and I was born in 1998. I grew up chimwemwe township and went to school at mindolo secondary where I finished my secondary education.School life was never easy as my father is a taxi driver and my mother is blind so paying school fees for 4 of us as children has not been easy for my father. One time my father said to me that he wont take anyone to college because he doesnt have money.I love teaching and i have always been a sunday school teacher at church. My prayer was that God opens a way that I go to college and low and behold one day in my church a certain family was willing to sponsor 2 young people thats how i found myself as a student at Zamtel college where I'm pursuing a diploma in Early childhood education.

My Business

After being in college for a few months decided to identify a business i could do because my sponsors were sending me ration money every month and I was saving it. That is how I bought on shaving machine and hired a certain guy to be cutting hair for students .Fortunately this guy has been good and consistent and over the weekend students dont go out of campus to have their hair cut. So every weekend i am making between k300 to k500. I thank God for that and I pray that i make more money so that I even find a place to rent just outside campus and get more customers from outside.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, I come to you seeking your help to fund my loan application which I want to use to buy text books to enable study . The period of Covid19 pandemic has been so bad that even private and public libraries have been closed due to health guidlines. This has made studying and research to be very difficult. I want to buy my own text books so that i can study from my hostel room.I will be grateful for your support.

Income Source

As a student I have a small business of barbershop and every week my business generates some money which I save every week. I am committed to my business and I dont misuse the money. So this is my source of income that I will use to repay my loan. Apart from that I do tuitions for kids, I love teaching kids and this also gives me an opportunity to make money.
