About Me

My name is Fred Kibipe a Zambian citizen. Am married and am father of 3 children. 2 girls and 1 boy. Am a business man. I completed my grade 12 at Mufulira Secondary School. Am an Accountant by profession and that is occupation over the years before I went into business. I used to for Mopani copper mines here in Mufulira before embarking on the journey of business. Today am entrepreneur and am involved in farming and butchery business of which I need more capital in business to help me expand as business of late is becoming tough. Therefore, am apply for this loan to be supported so that my business can survive following drought situation that has affected most people with hunger.

My Business

I have a butchery in our community and I sell meat products, such as meat or beef products, chicken, pork products and goat meat. I addition to that am also a farmer I grow maize, cassava, millet and vegetables. Mainly these are goods that gives good income for me and my family. It is this business that has been helping for the last 10 year since I stopped work many years ago. I choose working own or to work independent and generate my income. I started these businesses with initial investment of ZMW 50,000.00 and so far I have the money to ZMW 150,000.00 and I want to work extra hard to grow the farming business and together with the butchery business in our community. Mainly the profits made are used to grow the business, pay my children school fees and improve the living standard.

Project Proposal

I need at least ZMW 5000.00 to buy the farming inputs to help my farming crops that have been heavily affected due to drought so far we experienced here in Zambia. I want to buy the following farming inputs;
D-compound fertilizer, Top dressing or Urea, pesticides and the herbicides to help the crops grow healthy and produce a good crop yield for sale and for home consumption. Should the maize crop grow very well am expected to generate 80% profit as compared to the last farming marketing season. Where I did not produce enough maize crop for sale.
Thank you in advance my backers for supporting me in this loan .
