My name is Martha Nkhoma I am 35 years old. I live and located in Nakambala Estates in Mazabuka. I am married with 3 children and all my children go to school

. I am the second born in the family of 5 children. I went to Nambala Primary School and later completed school at Nyasa Girls secondary in Choma. After completion of secondary school I had the opportunity to work at my parents farm where I learnt how to farm vegetables , keeping Livestock and Piggery. Currently I keep piggery which I want to develop into a butchery for making pork sausage, polony and pork chops for sale.

I live in a cultured family and good family values , despite our culture supporting early marriages. Our land is good for farming and keeping livestock and piggery. I have 3 children and my ambition is to work hard and take my children to better school.

With the funds , I plan to start up piggery business of which, I need to build a piggery housing and also buy the feed requirements.

I want to open a big butchery of which I want to create jobs for my fellow youths because at the butchery , I will be making pork sausages, pork chops and polony for sale because the demand for pork products is very high. Hence I a total sum of ZMW 25,000.00 to open a butchery and buy other butchery equipment for making pork products.

I have opened a butchery and I sell pork products products such pork chops and pork sausages, and pork mixed cuts. I need to buy the equipment for processing pork products and meet the needs of the people and generate profits because pork products are highly in demand.
