My name is Bronson i am married with three children. I was born in a family of 8. It was tough growing up in my neighbourhood where most kids had a tendency to drop out of school. However, I had a dream and this motivated me to concentrate in school and complete my secondary school education. So after completing my 'O' levels i entered college and obtained a certificate in Mechanical Engineeering, though from childhood I have always had a passion in entrepreneurship, to become my own boss and my interest is looking after the welfare of the vulnerable in society. To achieve my passion i studied for a degree in Development Studies and later a Diploma in Human Capital Management. I enjoy working with the vulnerable people and develop them into purposeful people in society. i believe that every person on earth has a purpose no matter what situation they are in. I live in a country where most people are poor and this makes them so vulnerable to undesirable activities such as drug abuse and prostitution.My children have a passion to serve sick people so they all want to become medical doctors. My hobbies are farming and general reading.
I am currently working as a Technician but i really enjoy doing business too. In my free time, and for over 5 years now i have been working with Local NGOs helping the vulnerable to achieve their goals and dreams. On the other hand, I am a farmer i keep village chickens but i want to venture into broiler chickens for business.There is booming business in poultry farming in Zambia and the market is readily available, not just in Zambia but also across our neighboring countries like Democratic Republic of Congo.
I am currently pursuing a masters degree programme in International Relations and Development studies and so with this loan from Zidisha, I want to purchase a laptop computer for use in my current studies. The price range of laptops is from $500 to about $1,000. I am currently in fulltime employment working as a mechanical Technician but my passion has always been to do community work where I can help the vulnerable people in society achieve their goals and aspirations. I believe the skills and knowledge I will acquire from these studies will not only contribute to my professional and personal ambitions but will set me to be in a good position so that I help my community. With this loan I will be able to purchase a brand new laptop in one of our electronic shops in town. The laptop will benefit me very much as I will be able to do some class work at home, in the library and I will also be able to use it in class during lessons. Because of the portability of the laptop I will also be able to use whenever I have access to internet connection for any research work on the internet. The internet at home will also be an opportunity for my children to learn something. I am in fulltime employment so I will use my salary to pay back for this loan.
