Hello Zidisha team, my name is Barbra Himoonga from Linda compound in Petauke Eastern Provinvce of Zambia. I grew as an orphan and my parents died when I was two years old. I was raised by grandmother who was just a subsistence farmer. My educational background is a great miracle for me because I had no one to take me to school , I really struggled to start due to lack of funds, my grandmother was unable to pay for my schools. Hence I started selling vegetables and making flitters to raise some funds to pay for my school. While at school I was very bright girl in class and I stood out among my friends. Currently I'm doing grade 12 , my final year in secondary school preparing for the final examination. I need funds to pay for school fees, books and boarding house. I have the passion for entrepreneurship because through entrepreneurs, I managed to get enrolled in school hence I focus on hard working after writing my final examination and I want to continue pursuing my dreams and become somebody one day in future. I wish to become a female civil engineering in our family and emulate the girl child in our community.

I sell vegetables and I make flitters, I have a small booth where I sale a variety of vegetables and flitters. I target neighboring customers who buy vegetables on a daily basis and flitters which I sale to sell in the school tack shop. I choose to sale a variety vegetables because I generate revenue very day and demand is very high. Some of the funds I generate I save some , pay school fees, invest the rest in the business. Looking at the current situation, I will be sitting for my final examination and I'm asking for school fees , buy books and the board house for me to get ready for the examination and pass with flying colors and qualify to the university of Zambia.

I'm completing my secondary of high school this year, I need funds to help pay for my tuition school fees , buy books and up keep to work extra and pass my examination and qualify to the university of Zambia .
