My name is Magret Phiri I am a 30 year old female who resides in Lusaka Zambia shantumbu chalala. I have a husband and 5 children whom I support entirely. I have a small farm that I started about 5 years ago when I first acquired some personal land of my own. I am a small scale commercial farmer, for 5 years I haven't been in any formal employment but my crops have been able to sustain my household together with paying of school fees of all of my 5 children.

I am a small scale farmer. I grow various crops which include vegetables and maize which I sale to marketers and also for home consumption. My business has been sustaining my family for 5 years now and I am happy to say that it has been sustaining my household financially.

Good day everyone. It's with gratitude that I write this message because Zidisha is beginning to change my life for the better. With the loan I got I was able to get manure for my crops and I'm sure in no time they will flourish. With this next loan I would like to get some soya beans, groundnuts, and potato seedlings to plant on my farm. I'm trying to take advantage of the heavy rainfall and I'm sure i will harvest a very big bamper after the rain season elapses.
