My name is Manyonga Lochana , I live at a farm from Southern Province of Zambia in Bwengwa district Monze. I grew there since I was a boy . My education background is not good , I could not complete school then due to financial challenges hence through out my life farming and keeping livestock has been my livelihood to support my family and look after my children. I'm an entrepreneurs in farming and keeping livestock such as cattle , goats and pigs and growing vegetable crops and maize for sale. I'm in need of financial support and when I heard of Zidisha community online microlending platform, I have decided to join and become a beneficiary member and an impact to my community, family and the Zidisha community family.

I do farming by growing vegetables crops for sale such as groundnut, beans, potatoes, cabbages, carrots and all variety of vegetables and livestock for sale . I ventured into farming because it has been profitable and a good source of income for the family . However I have had challenges of transport to take the goods to market due to lack of transport, mostly I use the Oxcart and to reach the market it has been a big challenge. Hence , I need help and support to help me transport the crops for sale to market especially a light truck , let say a 5 tone truck, which will cost me ZMW 3000.00 to and from . As a result I will be able to sale the goods in good time than using the Oxcart which takes me a day to reach to market to sale the crops and generate low income due to reaching late at the the market.

The funds needed is to transport my crops for sale to market , lately I'm have been using the Oxcart but it delays me to reach the market in good time to sale the crops. Transport will help me to sale the crops very fast by reaching the market and meet the customers in good time, therefore I will be able to generate good income and support family and reinvestment.
