My name is Audrey Phiri. I was raised by my parents while growing up. I went to school and completed my secondary school. While at school I was interested in Arts and designing and led me to start designing clothing for sale. My parents were unable to sponsor me to go for further studies due to financial challenges. Having acquired skills in arts and designing earned an opportunity to start a business in tailoring and designing of different clothing for both women and men. I'm interested in Zidisha loan to help me buy sewing machine and grow my business.

I Have a shop in our community and very much involved in tailoring and designing of women and men's clothing such as suits, shirts, skirts and body tops. These clothing mainly designed to suit our tradtional culture norms and are in demand. I need 2 additional sewing machine to help in the production of these clothing and make them readily available for the customers to buy.

I need to buy a sewing machine and fabric materials. The new sewing machine is for helping me to sew more clothing material on time and deliver the cloths on time and meet the customers needs and their generate more revenue and pay some wages to my assistants tailors.
