I would like to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself to you.

My name Is Dorothy Mwewa Mwesa a Bemba by tribe and Zambian Citizen from Mansa Luapula province i am 36 years old, i am a married young woman with 4 Children 2 boys and 2 girls above all i am Christian.

I was grown up in the village where education was very difficult to achieve by then but now its improved government have started building Schools and making roads but by the time i wad going to School, School were very far and were very few which made many of us ladies to quite from going to School and given into marriage so as for i stopped going to School in grade 9.

When i stopped going School at our neighbour there came a young man he saw me and admired me so he asked his Aunty whom he visited to say is this girl i see passing here married? And her tald him that she doesn't, after she tald him that he sent her to come and tell my parents about the guy, later on my parents tald me what the Aunty to the guy came and tell my parent and my mum asked me this question would you love to get married to the same guy? And i replied and say not until i know him better, later on we started communicating to each other and finally we got married. And after getting married we shifted to a better area.

How i came to start my own business is that when i got married my husband looked for a job as a cleaner, now when i was working my husband didn't want me to be spending the salary at home but encouraged me to be keeping the money for future use and 4 years later i stopped working and opened my own salon shop for i new very well how Platte the hair i learned this kind of job from my Aunty when i was little girl.

And in my business and through the job which my husband does we are working so that our children will have better education than the way it happened to me.

I do study the Bible for i am a Christian and i want to know more about God.

I thank you once again and i am very happy to let the bakers know the kind of business i do, in my business channel i do sell artificial hairs such as wigs, Doremy Bump, baby afro etc and above all i do hair styles, blowing and platting and burning.

In this business i have customers who come to buy and do the hair and because of this i love my business i make profit easily.

Now that i have another shop which i want to open a restaurant i need a financial support so that i will pay the brickrare to do some renovation and to buy 4 pockets of cement and buying Chairs and tables and this will cost me 35000 ZMW

I make profit everyday and weekly and monthly, let me just say weekly i make 1700

And this profit for 2 weeks i use it to buy something needed at home and for ather 2 weeks invest it in the same business.

When i will get my loan i have got a very important plan with it i want to use it in this way. I will buy soft chairs for my customers to seat comfortable, i will a new hair drier. Once i get this loan i will be so glad.
