The Boutique

The Boutique

Our Clothing Boutique is becoming well known in the area. We have
developed a schedule for the arrival of "new" clothes. Payday for
most places around here is at the end of the month. So as we approach
payday, we take out all the merchandise, and bring out new things.
Then around the 20th of the month we lower everything, except shoes,
to 50% off. It is working very well.

All of the clothes, books, and bikes that we sell come on the
containers sent from the US. Books are expensive in Zambia, even when
they are used. If we can keep our shelves stocked with a variety of
books – adults, youth, children, Bibles, dictionaries, non-fiction,
textbooks, etc. I'm sure are sales will continually increase.

Our Boutique isn't very big and we only allow about 4-5 people in the
area at a time, due to the challenge of preventing theft. But people
look forward to the arrival of new clothes.
