I am Ivy Mwanza i was born in 1987 in Kalindawalo General Hospital in Petauke. My early days in the village were hard as a result i got married early before completing grade 12. I started my business of farming when i sold my two goats and took advantage of the fertile land and good rains. I like working in my garden as i get good money from there.

My business is cultivating vegetables and fresh maize for selling. These days many people come to order rape and maize to sell along the road and at the markets. If many people come to order from me i get more money to buy books and uniforms for my children at school. Some of the money that remain i keep it for future use

With this loan I plan to buy new seedlings for the other potion that we cleared... otherwise iam so grateful to have this opportunity and this will benefit both my family and the community because we won't be running out of vegetables.
