Charity Kabaso is my name. I grew up as an orphan and I was being kept by grandmother who was a subsistence farmer in Chingola town. My school fees was dependent on what grandmother could produce each farming season. I started my primary school at Mwaiseni Primary school, after successfully completing my primary course with divison 1 school results, I was offer a place at Kasis Girls Secondary where I completed my grade 12. Growing up with my mother, I learnt a lot of things especially farming of different variety of crops. I took up farming seriously to over come my financial hardships. Through farming business I managed to raise some money to help me pay for college school fees. Today I hold a Diploma in Agribusiness and am currently working for Zambia Zamseed in Lusaka as a Farm manager.
However, our culture is fully of traditional foods and dancing activities that draws the people together especially during the ceremonies. When my children grow up I wish them to get attain the highest level of education and go the Universities and graduate with bachelor's degrees.
At the farms am lacking poly pipes, gardening tools and fencing equipment to avoid animals from destroying the crops. I sell a variety of vegetables which I grow in my vegetable gardens at the farm. These are very useful crops in our human consumption and these vegetables are, green pepper, okra, egg plant, rape, lettice, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes and green beans.
Mainly after completing my school, I decided to join grandmother in the farming business because I saw how she generating good money for her to pay for my school fees. She really mentored me to go into this business it is very profitable and sustainable. The poly pipes will cost me, K 40,000.00
For me to secure the gardening tools I will need 6 different types and it will cost me K 25,000.00 and the wire fence will cost me K 60,000.00 to cover the all farm land and stop the animals invading the crops.
Major usage of profits is for improving and developing the farm land, for home improvement and also to cover the cost of buying farming inputs and improving the leaves of our family.
I propose to buy the irrigation equipment for helping in watering the vegetables such as the poly pipes and the watering canes, this will help me to water the crops and grow health when there is drought or no rain. I also need wire fence for for protecting the crops and avoid the animals eating, destroying the crops in the gardens. Currently I have had situation where animals are invading the farms due to lack of wire fence to protect the crops.
