About Me

I was brought up with a single parent, only a mother, and she was the marketeer. She was an inspiration to me; that's how I got the skills. I did my primary level education at Chibolya Basic School and secondary at Lotus Basic School. I finished my school at Kamwala High School in 2008.

I lost my parent in 2010, which was too excruciating because she was my backbone. That's how I thought of starting a business of my own to keep on living in 2011.

In my town, people are social and it's a good place to do business. I have no children, yet I would love them to do business because business is life and service. I like chatting with friends.

My Business

My business deals with phone accessories and IT. Because everyone is using phones and computers each single day, it's a good idea. People need headsets, batteries, chargers, USBs, different cabs, mouses, flash drives, memory cards, and OS updates to their computers and phones every now and then. And the area is densely populated.

I chose this business because it's not common here in the compound. It's only found in town, so many people will be getting it near their homes where my business and service are located. We also offer good service for clients.

I sell: headsets that I buy for $2 and sell for $5; batteries which vary in price, some are $1, $2, $5, selling at $2.50, $5, and $10; chargers at $2.50 selling for $6; USB for $0.80 selling for $2.50. The revenue is double the cost. I use the profit from my business for investing and paying for school fees for my sibling and my nephew.

Loan Proposal

I am thankful to lenders and the [Zidisha] team. My plan is to install tiles and plaster the wall of my house, and add stock in my shop.

11 boxes @ $28 each: $308
5 pockets of tile fixer @ $2 each: $10
10 pockets of cement @ $6 each: $60
5 tons of sand: $75
2 16GB flash discs @ $6 each: $12
3 keyboards @ $5 each: $15
5 boxes of reams of paper @ $15 each: $75
2 inks @ $15 each: $30
Labor: $250

My house will be done, so I will not have the issue of spending on rentals; my family will benefit also. My income will increase to $205.

-I only work with my brother in law for the crops
-crops we normally sell to the Indians at katete
- cause everyone is using phones and computer each single day so its idea, people needs headset, batteries, chargers, USB, different cabs, mouses, flash discs,memory cards and updating their os computers and phones every now and then. and the area is dense populate.
The buying of crops is ideal cause our stepper food is maize, and groundnut are also on demand so no wonder I thought of it and we have potential buyers of groundnut
-i choose it cause its not common here in the compound its on found in town so many people will be getting it near their home where my business and service are located. we also offer good serve for clienties, I took it as a privilege to deal business with villagers cause it's hard for them to find money to pay for schools and other house needs.
