Brenda Chilekwa

Market Vendor

Having been a Market seller for 23 years, Brenda didn’t face major problems till 2020 because of the Pandemic. She then started working with LendingScape Limited from October 2020 which helped solve most of her financial problems. She currently sells various food Products in Soweto market like Groundnuts, Caterpillars and Beans which she sources from various places in Zambia such as Chipata, Mkushi and Serenje. She is now a member of a Village Banking group of the company which she is very grateful for.

"Lendingscape has been very good to me during tough times. The problem is my husband is also not in employment, so it was very difficult for our family at times. Now that I do Village banking with Lendingscape, it has made life easier. Whenever I have small money problems, I don’t worry these days because I know I can get help from Lendingscape."

In the past, Brenda and her husband experienced many financial problems because she was not always able to generate a stable income to support their 6 Children. Most especially trying to raise money for their Children’s school fees was very difficult in 2020. Fortunately the Lendingscape Village Banking Loans have been able to give them some hope and her business has been able to survive despite it being very difficult for her. She is very thankful for the support from LendingScape Limited and is very happy to have been introduced to the Village banking product.
