Elizabeth Mukuka is my name, first born in the family of 3 girls and I boy. I was born on 23rd September, 1994 in Misisi Compound in Lusaka. Generally speaking I come from a humble background. My father and mother are business entrepreneurs, my father being a carpenter and my mother being a street vendor in selling different types of merchandisers to raise money for school tuition fees and for home consumption.

I attended my primary school at Johnleigh, while at school, I was very hard working girl and passed my grade 7 examination with high marks. Hearing of my achievements my parent's were very happy and proud of me. I did qualify to form 1 with higher marks and selected to go to David Kaunda Technical School where I attended my form 1 to form 5 and completed successfully.

Looking backwards as a small girl, I have always wanted to become a Nurse, this interest in Nursing started way back when I was in lower grade at primary school. My passion was to look and take care of patients in hospital. My dream came to light when I was form 2, I joined the school drama club, where I was acting the role of a Nurse and I acted with passion to the excitement of the school headteacher, teachers and school peers and I was named student Nurse since then my desire was to become a Nurse for my nation, my family and my community.

Therefore, I went to Makeni College of Nursing where I graduated with a Diploma and currently pursuing a degree in midwife. My advancement in my education career has been hard working to over come challenges through encouragement and motivation from my teachers, parents and lecturers despite coming from a poor background.

Having coming from the DNA of parents who are entrepreneurs, I have had also the passion for business apart from the major career in the field of nursing . Am entrepreneur in online business of selling clothing. I do this business to support the advancement of my degree program in midwife.

I sell clothing sales of dresses, shirts, both for female body tops and men's shirts trousers, suits and casual wear. I do this business online and the income I make is to support the advancement of my degree program at the University in paying tuition fees ,food or up keep and books. Hence I need the funds to support toward completion of this degree program in midwife. I have learnt that education is the key to success and it is the equalizer to many challenges and once I graduate I will end poverty in my family and improve the living standard of my family and my community at large.

Currently , I'm in the 4th final year studying for midwifery degree program and as such I need the funds to help me invest in my education by paying tuition fees, buying reserch books and for my up keep as i'm studying for my final year. I also want to add stock in my clothing business to be helping me develop my small business. Your support will be of high value and improve the living standard of my life.
