I was born and brought up in Luapula Province Mansa specifically at Mwense village Chief Katuta. My growing up was not such a very a good one. my parents would survive on their vegetables farming practices. With my 3 brothers we learnt to support ourselves while still very young to supplement our parents little income that can keep us in school and still have food to eat at home.

These childhood suffering made me a strong urge to excel in whatever thing i lay my hands to do. I started my business out of the salaries that i was getting when i was working as a garden boy, And I am currently a proud Business man.

My mother is hard working woman and she was making sure that as the children we didn't sleep empty stomach, AUTO BUSINESS is now a business i am doing .Thus growth is my business choice at this point in time.

My dreams are to be the major supplier of both AUTOTIVE and HARDWARE to all the customers my shop needs some expansion. I will have to buy blocks, 15 bags of cement,sand, Stones and also look for brickrayer to build it .

I started this business when i was very young. I started very small i used to just making orders of few hardware items such as Sockets, switches, screw drivers and some Bulb holders but through my persistence on my business i started achieving more and and goods.

I do AUTOMOTIVE and HARDWARE business I started this business 3 years ago. I started small with only sockets, Switches screw drivers, Byscle wheels and rims, bulb holders and now I have managed to grow my business bit by bit. I started this business due to the poor background we grew up in. Affording atleast 2 meals in a day how i wish not my children not to go through the same situation we went

My customers include domestic consumers, they do come and buy goods from me.

I my vision is to grow my business and make some opportunities of educating youngs

I am very proud of this business because of the positive results, i have enjoyed from the same this far. And i wasn't expecting this. In a month i make a profits of upto ZMW 3500 which i use to expand the business and the rest to cater for the family needs.

I need to get this loan in order for me to renovate my shop i want to put a roofing sheets and also to boost my business, i also want to start selling the roofing sheets and also opening a grocery shop.
