Meya Nkhowani is my name , I grew up in Eastern Province in Sinda area. I was brought up by mu biological parents. I went to Sinda Basic School where I did my lower grades from grade 1 and to grade 7. From there I went to Petauke Secondary School after qualifying successfully to senior secondary school and I completed my grade 12 successfully. Therefore, the following year, I was selected to Chipata School of Health Sciences where I was enrolled to study Pharmacy. After studying for 3 years, Successfully I graduated with a Diploma in Pharmacy, following the footsteps of mother who was a Pharmacist and owned a Pharmacy in Chipata town of Eastern Province.

Over the years, looking at how my mother has been successful in her career and her business of selling drugs, I was greatly inspired to take this field of study and the business to emulate my mother and continue from where she left. Therefore, Iam an entrepreneur and I have a small pharmacy in our community where I provide different types of drugs , malaria kit such as mosquito nets and malaria drugs.

I have a small pharmacy in our community, where I sell different types of drugs, malaria kit such as mosquito nets and malaria drugs and I also conduct under 5 visitation to mothers to have their children vaccinated for polio, kwashiorkor and marasmus. Due to outbreak of malaria as a result of the just ended heavy down poll of rainfall in district there has severe outbreak of the tropical disease which claims may lives of people if not taken care of. In this regard, I have taken up the initiative to combat this disease in our community for the people to live a good health lives by providing all the medical kit and drugs required for them to curb malaria and chase away polio and also kwashiorkor from the children in our communities and live a good health life. As a result of this I need support from the backers to help me buy these malaria kit as malaria test apparatus, mosquito nest, malaria drugs which cost me over ZMW 10,000.00 to stock up in the pharmacy and sell to the people in our community. The income made profitably will be used to expand the business and ensuring the pharmacy becomes a ones' stop for every one in our community. The major benefits is to have a good health community for the people to foster development in the nation.
