My name is Audrey Phiri. I was raised by my parents while growing up. I went to school and completed my secondary school. While at school I was interested in Arts and designing and led me to start designing clothing for sale. My parents were unable to sponsor me to go for further studies due to financial challenges. Having acquired skills in arts and designing earned an opportunity to start a business in tailoring and designing of different clothing for both women and men. I'm interested in Zidisha loan to help me buy sewing machine and grow my business.

I Have a shop in our community and very much involved in tailoring and designing of women and men's clothing such as suits, shirts, skirts and body tops. These clothing mainly designed to suit our tradtional culture norms and are in demand. I need 2 additional sewing machine to help in the production of these clothing and make them readily available for the customers to buy.

Funds I am requesting is to buy a new sewing machine due to high demand. I need to double efforts to meet demand serve my customers on time. This will enable me make good revenue to support my family and impact my family by creating employment to the youths.
