My name is Frank Bwalya and I live Garden Chilulu Compound in Lusaka. I come from humble background. I went to Northmead secondary school where I completed my grade 12. When I completed my grade 12, I joined my Auntie at her restaurant in town, where I started working and learnt skills of preparing different recipe. Despite earning little income I managed to enroll as a student at Fairview College in food and catering management program. I attained a Diploma in food and catering management program which led me to start my own food restaurant after acquiring the skills from school and from Auntie's restaurant. In our land we celebrate the culture called the crocodile clan where traditional dances are displayed and this ceremony is attracted by many . I wish my children to more hard working by acquiring more skill and knowledge in small field of business and expand the business in future. During leisure time I go for boat cruising and visit my parents in the village in Mporocoso in the Northern Zambia.

I'm into food processing and I sale a different types of dishes such as nshima with fish, t-born, beef stew, dry fish and fresh, sausages, meat pies, cup cakes, scorns, flitters and assorted drinks. These goods are very important in the lives of the people because they are consumed day to day in our lives. Therefore, it is highly on demand and it is equally profitable. However, my its cost me approximately ZMW 40.000.00 to meet all the requirements to process all the food recipes at the restaurant. The profits generated are used for reinvestments for growing the business, pay hope rentals, pay the children school fees and improving the living standard home.

Due to road shedding that we experiencing here in Zambia to has to my serious attention on my business due to high demand. I really to need to use the funds to purchase the gas cook and the gas grilling equipment to caution the power outage that is now a hazard to business. Due to long hours of road shedding, my business has been adversely affected hence the funds will help me a lot to should I the gas cooker and the gas grilling equipment . Therefore, I will meet the demand and continue generating good profits and grow my restaurant business.
