About Me

My names are Doreen Sitali, a widow and a proud mother of 5 children but with only 2 surviving children. Am a breed winner in the family and that helps me to work hard even more so that i can feed and take my grand children to school , the children left by my 3 children who have passed.
I came to start my own business after loosing my husband who was a sole provider so that my children can go to school through the help of other women in the community who showed me on how i can run a bossiness. I enjoy gardening in my free time.

My Business

I own a shop at the market where i sell chitenge wrappers and farming tools. am also a poultry farmer. i keep chickens and pigs for business. i choose this kind of business because i know that it is a source of nutrition for people in my community, and also most women need wrapper to wear .I also own about 5 flats that i rent out to the people in my community.
The cost i incurs usually is buying feed for the chickens and pigs. i also want to renovate the poultry so that i put up a bigger on to accommodate about 1000 birds.
i use the profits to run the home and take my grandchildren to school and also reinvest in the business.
also i want to restock my shop

Loan Proposal
