About Me

Gilbert Siwale is my name and I was born in 1999 in a family of 5. My parents worked in the mines in luanshya. I grew up liking school but we had a challenge of finances the time when the mines were privatized by the government. That was things got tough for us as family and we had to look for money. That’s how I started learning bricklaying and been doing my own business. I am not yet married and my hobbies are listening to music and playing football

My Business

I started working as a helper for a certain man who had a construction company. This company was specialized in building houses and many other types of buildings. I saw potential in myself to work on my own because I am a very fast learner. So I started my own business, I was going round farms looking for contracts to build but now am well established am known such that people just ring me on my phones and that’s how my business has been. I construct poultry houses, piggery, housing units for goats and any structures on a farm. My typical is transport of building material and labour because this job sometimes I cant do it alone so I have employed a fellow youth

Loan Proposal

Given a loan from zidisha I will use it to buy construction materials as I have a contract to construct a poultry house for my client which is able to keep about 1,000 chickens. The total estimates for building this poultry is k10,000. And 30% of that is what I charge for labour. From this project I will able to make profit and this will impact very well on my personal finances. I will use the profit wisely to repay the loan and reinvest in the business as I desire to see my business grow from one level to another. I therefore appeal to lenders to help me with this loan.

Income Source

Away from my business service of building I also sell chickens. One time I worked for a farmer who failed to pay me all the money I charged him so we ended up to agree that he pays me in kind. He gave me 15 chickens as part of the payment and these are layers. So that’s how I started keeping chickens and have been selling them and they are on demand. Even where there are economic challenges people still ned to eat so with this side business I can easily repay the loan.
