We are a family in great need of financial assistance. We are based in Lusaka, Zambia in Southern Africa. Our family consists of 6 of us (husband, wife and 4 kids aged 17, 11, 8 and 4).

I, the father of this family, lost my job in August 2013. At that time we had a small business that sustained is for the better part of 3 years. The business was inadequately funded and soon collapsed under the weight of the financial demands of the family leaving us in debts amounting to US$13,000. For the last 5 years we have lived from hand to mouth with handouts from local well wishers. However, I realise that we cannot continue like this as a family which is why I am approaching the global family to assist us clear our debts and get back into sustainable business for the financial security of my family.

Our eldest daughter will be finishing high school at the end of this year and will be enrolling for University and we need to be ready for her so she can realise her dreams.

Please help us raise the sum of US$25,000 to put us back on our feet.
