Am Getrude Phiri born in Zambia and raised in KITWE COPPERBELT PROVINCE. My parents took me to school I finished my primary education, but I couldn't finish secondary because of the death of my Father who died when I was 13 years old. I was raised by my mother even my siblings too. I was the third born 2 male and 3 female children.

The death of my father was tragedy on the other hand was my stepping stone. Even though I couldn't finish because of financial challenges, but it gave me courage to stand up on my feet.

My mother strengthened me to be courageous and hand working, through this encouragement I stood up firmly. My mother taught me how to farm because she had a farm.. I ventured in gardening where I used to grow different kind of vegetables. With hid demands on vegetables I had hope to continue growing, maize, rape, carrots, cabbage, onion and tomatoes. I don't wait my cones to dry up I sale fresh maize and I do winter maize and my garden run through out the year.

I started this business because, I wanted to I be independent and never depends on anyone for financial assistance. I acquired the skill from my parents and I loved it.. I was given a piece of land where I planted some vegetables.

I ventured in gardening, because of high demands on the market due rising of population in the city and in every house hoods the eat vegetables.

With growing population in the cities, due to moving in of people from villages coming in the city for greener pasture , have made us to have diversity of culture and uniques in the land .. People are friendly and welcoming.

The future of my children is bright I am mother of 2 children male and female. My first born child wants to be a pilot and the female wants to be a doctor. I know this will come to pass and I loved I'll make sure they dreams come to pass.

My desire is the be great in life and I love working and playing some time to refresh the mind and body. I do some exercise some times too to keep my body feat.
