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 purchase more Fish, Crabs and Crayfish from local fishermen who fish from Lake Kariba. I will refrigerate the Fish, Crabs and Crayfish and then take them to my customers in Lusaka.

Income Source

I have already taken orders from several loyal and new customers who are staying at home during the COVID-19 outbreak. So to ensure my safety as I make deliveries, I will put on my PPE (mask, gloves and googles) and I will also carry my hand sanitizer.
