My names are Nancy Mainas Goma i am from Zambia, based in Kwacha East of Kitwe Copper belt. I was on 15th October, 2004 in Chikwa village, Chama District, i am single but keeping myself my younger sister.

I went to Chama primary School in grade 1 up to grade 7 and for my secondary education i completed at Hellen Kaunda in Kitwe.

In my life i believe in working hard in order for me to achieve what i want to be in future.

Just when i completed my secondary education i started working as grocery sales lady, i worked for just 1 year and the owner of the shop told me that they will shift to Lusaka next month and i asked her to say so next month i will stop working for you and she told me not to worry. In when the month end came she told me that for your good work i give you this shop together with the few goods which remained, and i was so suprised and happy at the same time, so i was left and continued with the same business and now my business is grawing.

In my land the thing i really love is business.

I want my children when they grow to have good education and also to be business men.

My hobbies are reading commerce books and playing netball.

The business i do is the grocery business.

I do provide the goods to my customers such as mealie meal, backets of washing powder, many of the food staffs that i cannot manage to mention.

My business is on demand for i so many customers, so i think of continuing doing the business because i came to realise that i sell are people's daily needs.

And in this business i make profit every week i make 1500 ZMW and in a month i make 6000 ZMW and i use it to reinvest into the business and to feed myself and my younger sister.

I have the project of renovating my grocery shop the one i an using now is not big enough to accommodate all the goods so i want to buy Iron sheets, Cement, blocks, sand stones and i also i need to pay for the brick rare.
