About Me

My name is Chiozya Mwanza. I am a fish farmer from Mundulundulu village, Siavonga district, in the southern part of Zambia. Siavonga is home to Lake Kariba, the largest man-made lake in the world.

The farm is located on the shores of Lake Kariba and we grow Nile Tilapia in floating fish cages on the lake. We also catch Crayfish for sale to upmarket restaurants, lodges and hotels.

I am married and we are proud parents to four beautiful children.

My Business

My business is selling fresh farmed and wild fish, crabs and Crayfish to up market restaurants, lodges and hotels in the resort town of Siavonga and in the capital Lusaka.

I catch the wild fish, crabs and Crayfish from Lake Kariba and sell it fresh to customers. I have also exported fish and Crayfish to South Africa.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use the loan to purchase 1000kg of fish from our local fishermen who fish in the waters close to my home.

I will supply the fish to my best customers, who include some of the top restaurants and hotels in the country.

Income Source

I already have the order to supply the fish from my trusted customers.

I will use the money paid to me to also repay my loan on time. Thank you Zidisha for the opportunity.
