About Me
My name is loveness Nanjamba. i was born in 1997 in my village home town in kasempa. I was born in a family of 4 children and am the third born. When i was 5 years old my parents found a job in the mine in chingola. I started my primary education and went up to grade 9. Unfortunately my father was involved in a mine accident that gave him permanent injury of the eyes. So he stopped work and thats how i couldnt manage to continue to be in school. But if i have a chance i can go back to school. I then decided to start selling vegetables and other farm food at the market to help my young brother and also to assist me buy food at home. That is how i started my business. I have been selling at the market for 3 years now.
My Business
I started my business in 2007. before that i could just work in peoples home but i saw an opportunity to be selling vegetables at the market. Every person in my community need food and one of the food bought everyday although in small demand is vegetables, tomatoes, onions etc.
I do have much capital at the moment but i put money together with my friend ..we buy bags of vegs and tomatoes we share then each one sells for herself. I order these food once a week, sometimes if i sell everthing i order again. I spend k50 on transport and order goods for K3,500. i also pay for the stand where i sell i pay everyday and also for storage.I make some little profit which i invest back. But sometimes i have to buy food at home to help my mother.
Loan Proposal
Thank you for this chance to apply for a loan at Zidisha. I am apply for this loan amount K205 so that i can buy more vegetables and tomatoes for my shop. i have business where i sell vegetables, tomatoes ,onions etc at the market on a stand. If am helped with this money i will increase my goods i buy and i will make a profit at the end of the week. I already have some money so i will top up with this K205. So my profit will increase by a small percentage which is okay because i will benefit and i can also buy more food at home for my family.
Income Source
I can piece work. I like children so I can take care of children for busy parents and get paid and pay for the loan
