I am a young energetic girl who grew up in a poverty stricken family. My family comprises of six brothers and two sisters. My parents died in a road accident when we were still very young. Being the first born I had to take the role of my parents to cater for my siblings. I had to work in sugarcane plantations to make ends meet. I didn't complete my secondary school education but I vowed to make sure that my siblings had to go through school at least to help in our community.
I run a Wines and Spirits depot in our market place. I have two assistants who help me in supplying of my goods. I sell both wholesale and retail. I normally save at least a hundred US dollars a month after clearing my bills and paying my rent. I plan to expand my business to other towns due to public demand to cater for their needs. I started my business after saving whatever remained after catering for my family.
I will use the loan to be provided to pay for my sisters school fees. I have some savings but they are not enough to cater for both of them. They all depend on me and being their bread winner I don't want them to go through the same experience I went through when I was a child. By paying their fees, they will go on with their education without any hinderence.
