Hi.My name is lweendo.

I grew up in a compound set up in southern province of Zambia.I was a housewife for many years until I decided to go into farming and I have not looked back.I knew i would not thrive in a white collar environment because I love nature. I live in a diary farming area and making vegetable farming lucrative .

I have three sons ,one is studying to be a lawyer and the other one is going to med school this year.The youngest wants to study geology when he is done with secondary education. I love cooking and trying new dishes every time.

I have gone into onion farming. There is usually a serious onion shortage in zambia seasonally. It costs me about 6 kwacha per kg and revenue fluctuates between 12 and 16 kwacha per kg.I use the profits to pay for my children 's education and to plough back into the business.

I'm a woman in farming and scaling up has been a problem due to the high cost of seed. I would like to use this money to buy 400 grams of onion seeds.If funded it help me to pay school fees for my son
