My name is Grace Chifita i am a Zambian by nationality with a green national registration card. I am married with 3 lovely kids 2 girls and 1 boy.

I was grawn up by my uncle in chiliabombwe for my Father died when i 5 yeas old and my mother i was a drunkard so many of the times she spent in drinking beer and For my education sponsorship wasn't well and she was encouraging me to stop School and get married that's how i reported her plans to my uncle and he took me and started taking care of me and pay my School fees of which his support on on reached me in grade 12.

I overcame hardships by wanting to work hard in School and by saying no to my Mother's bad plans of wanting me to get married at a tender age.

When i finished School i started working in a grocery and out the salaries i was getting i used to keep some of which at the same market where i bought a shop plot bit by bit i built it and again i continued working and i raised a capital for starting my own grocery business and where i was working i took my brother to start working.

My mother's culture they believe that on men are supposed to get educated while women are to be given in marriages.

When my children graw i want them to be accountants and Doctors for i don't want them to go through the same situation i went through.

My hobbies are readily commerce books for i want to explore more about the business.

The funds i will be raising from Zidisha i will be using it to boost my grocery store by buying more grocery commodities that are neediful by dairy customers.

I do provide the grocery goods to my customers and provide them with good service such and as mobile money banking they withdrawal and deposit.

The reason why i chose to open a grocery business is business i saw how grocery items are needed dairy by the consumers and it is a business which makes the profit fast.

Each week i make k 900 profit and monthly i make k 3600 and in profit k1000 i reinvest, k600 i pay School fees for my kids ,each k200 per month and k2000 we feed ourselves at home.

The kind of business i do is the best according to my experience i have seen that i have a lot of customers because the goods that i sell are always needed and they are on demand. So with a grocery business and with the help of Zidisha loan my business will bust.
