00:00I started playing football because I love football.
00:26I had the passion since when I was a very young girl.
00:31You have parents and they depend more and they love more of a girl child going to school.
00:38So that was the challenge I had until I just made them believe that I can manage to play
00:42football.
00:43I've seen a lot of girls that have been progressing through football so it gives me more courage
00:49and it encourages me a lot.
00:52My dream is that for now I'm not just dreaming maybe to be playing on the club.
00:59I dream to play more professional football like maybe USA, yes, Europe, that's my dream
01:06as at for now.
01:08Looking at the current form and the current development of women's football in Zambia,
01:25it's been so consistent and so positive.
01:28Hence I feel going by that route we are good to go and always will with women's football.
01:38The passion that I see in young ladies, especially in Zambia, with the inspiration of great players
01:48like Barbara Banda, Rachel Kundan and others, the girls have been pushing hard.
01:54So I thought I could put in my expertise, also resources, the little that I can arrange
02:00and my skills to fundraise from sponsors so that at least we can develop players that
02:05can play at the highest level.
