In 2003, with just 1,250 kwacha in hand, Cosmas Chachi began walking from house to house in northern Zambia selling clothes and household goods. It was tiring work for little money, but it was a start.
By 2004, he had saved enough to rent a small shop. It was modest but gave him a fixed place to trade, and people knew where to find him. Six years later, in 2010, he opened a larger store that he describes as his first supermarket. This became Triple Blessings, which gave the community a central place to buy essentials and Cosmas a foothold as a businessman.
