My name is Mary Chileshe, I was born on 3rd October, 1992 in Mine area in present day Kabwe town. I come from a humble family being 3 girls and 1 boy. I went to Kabwe high school, where I did my secondary school and completed from there. I obtained a division one school certificate which saw me being given a 100% scholarship to study at the University of Zambia in school of Pharmacy. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Pharmacy in the year 2022.

Currently the hardship is lack of deployment and lack of jobs to work govenment hospitals due to wage freeze. Despite not being employment by the government, I got a job to work in a private chemistry in town , where I have gained vast experience to work and my own pharmacy.

having worked for two years in the Indian chemistry or pharmacy, I was able to raise enough money to start up my small pharmacy in our community, where am running a shop and offer medical assistance to the community.

Iam a full time entrepreneur at the moment with the ambition to become a prominent business woman in health service in our community in future.

My hobbies is that I like studying, reading books and researching in health matters concerning the health of human beings.

I ran a small pharmacy in our community and I sell medical drugs and offer medical services including antnental services to mothers who pregnant in our community. When I graduated in 2022 at the University of Zambia, I saw an opportunity in our community to set up a small pharmaceuticals, because most of our people in the community have had no access to drugs due to lack of a hospital near except in far places, hence due to the availability of the chemistry near there is now improvements in death rates. The people now in our community can buy medical drugs near to save many lives in their family and children. Hence demand is very high, am able to generate K 5000 per day of which per week revenue ranges from K 20,000 to K 25,000.

Due to tropical diseases that many people are mostly vulnerable such malaria which is most dangerous disease especially to pregnant women who use die, they were so much at risk but now they are safe due the drug store were they are able to access medical. Diseases such TB, Cancer, diahoriah, malaria, diabetes, High pressure, headaches, fever, common cold, all these drugs can be accessed and bought at the drug store.

Therefore that is how I generate my income through medical drugs business in my pharmacy in our community and is the main source of my livelihood today. Hence the funds I want to raise through this loan, I want to buy the Xray Machine for scanning the patients and scanning machine.

Due to high demand from the patients at my pharmacy in our community. There is urgent need to purchase the Xray machine for scanning the patients with various diseases that requires proper diagnosis and medical advise. As such the funds needed is to buy the Xray machine so that patients can be scanned and given proper medical prescription foe drugs. As well as pregnant women and patients with various complications in the community and in my family. The Xray machine will help me to provide good medical advise to patients therefore generate good incomes.
