About Me

My names are Hopson lupiya. Fun fact my surname Lupiya means money. I was born in humble family of 6 and I am the first born child. My mother is the one that is responsible for all the 6 of us since our father is a drunk. With every single note he finds he uses it for alcohol. I noticed how hard it has been for my mom to take care of all of us hence I decided to start up a business in order to help support her and meet the day to day need for our family

My Business

since there was little to no money for capital for me to start my business I figured instead of stressing mum for the money I started using my talent. I use wood and timber to craft some Zambian culture beads Lily flowers and animals like elephants giraffes that tourists like. When I craft that I paint them and then I start selling as that will only require talent instead of money for capital. I have been selling these beads and animals and Zambian artistics symbols lake Victoria falls elephant horns a year now and the business is moderate as I am able to help my mother out here and there.

Loan Proposal

Last time I made the African traditional baskets only 2 of them to see how well they can sell and only to say the least I was impressed with how much hey sold and how much they are on demand by tourists and visitors. This is the main reason why I thought that I should hence make more of the baskets to improve my business. I need this loan to help but equipments for these baskets

Income Source

So for the baskets a lot of people showed a lot of interest in them so I advised them to make orders hence these baskets most of them already have customers which is why as soon as I make them I deliver them giving me enough money to repay this loan
