My name is Gladys Ngongola a Zambian young lady. Am a nurse by profession. Currently working at Levy Mwanawasa level 1 Hospital in Lusaka. Am also a small farmer and full time involved in crop business. Have been involved in crop farming for last 15 years now. I was inspired by parents who were a great source of inspiration to my business. Crop farming has been my passion since I was a child. I wish to develop it and expand.
I do grow mainly maize and vegetables such as cabbages, rape, okra, carrots, onions and tomato's for home consumption and for sale. This farming project has been very useful for me and the family because it helps to raise incomes to pay for school fees for children and also paying for university school tuition fees for my degree program. Since I got inspired by my parents to venture into this business it has been very useful and supportive for me in terms of providing food for the family. I need the funds to buy the gardening tools such as a plough for cultivating the land, folk rake, hoes, spade and watering canes to used for watering the vegetables. When the crops are ready for sale and the profits made are used for the improvement of the well being of the family and reinvestments and growth of the business.
After buying additional land for crop cultivation of about 5 hectres of land. I has really come to my attention that I need also funds enable me buy more gardening tools to allow me grow more crops for sell to generate more income and stop poverty and hunger in our community. The more food we as a community to will create a health community and curb the diseases that comes with hunger. Poverty free family and the community.
