My name is Christine Phiri from Zambia i born on 15th September,1990. I'm married and I'm having 3 children 1 girl and 2 boy.
My childhood education was quite a challenge but i remained focused to my studies and by being so i successfully completed my basic education, during this time i developed a strong sense of responsibility and dosire to improve my future through selfreliance.
After completing my education, i faced the reality many young people know to well that finding a stable business was difficult.
Instead of giving up i started thinking on how i can create an opportunity for myself, i noticed that in my community people needed access to everyday essentials like mealie meal, Sugar, cooking oil and vegetables, sometimes they had to walk long distance just to buy basic items. That observation planted a seed in my mind so toolk the money that i made from farming and started the grocery business.
starting my grocery business was not easy for i had a little capital so i began small, i bought few essential items to sell. At first i operated from a simple stand and as gone on i started growing.
One of my favorite moment growing up is during traditional ceremonies, we sing songs and dance.
I really love doing my grocery business .
In my grocery business i provide a variety of essential goods that people use everyday. These include food items like mealie meal, cooking oil, sugar, salt, bread and fresh vegetables and so on.
In additional to goods i offer services that make shopping easier for my customers i ensure that my shop is always open at convenient hours, i serve customers quickly and respectfully and sometimes allow my trusted customers to buy on credit.
I chose to start a grocery business because i saw a need in my community and above all i make profit which i use to keep myself and grow the business.
In this fund when I get it I want to buy grocery commodities like bread, sugar, butter, trays of eggs, one bag of salt sweets, boxes of biscuits and so on and these items will make me profit that I will be using to repay my loan
Fund for grocery business expansion
