SAML Finance: From a $10 Hustle to a Financial Powerhouse
In the heart of Zimbabwe, where dreams often struggle against economic hardships, one young man dared to turn a $10 deal into a financial revolution. Mr. Pride Takunda Chimunhu, a college student with nothing but ambition and a relentless will to succeed, found himself at a crossroads in September 2020. With tuition fees weighing heavily on his shoulders and limited financial support, he refused to let circumstances define his future. Instead, he saw opportunity in adversity.Armed with just $10, he launched Nhumwa Enterprises, a small lending business aimed at helping his fellow students with urgent financial needs. His approach was simple: fair, affordable, and accessible credit. What started as a side hustle soon turned into a trusted financial solution. Word spread like wildfire—students, and later, small business owners, began to rely on his services. The once broke college student was now seen as a financial lifeline on campus.
But the dream didn't stop there. Pride saw the bigger picture.Realizing that one man’s effort was not enough to "Save A Million Lives," he joined forces with Miss Machaka and Mrs. Tanyaradzwa Chimunhu, two visionary minds who shared his passion for financial empowerment. Together, they transformed Nhumwa Enterprises into SAML Finance—an institution built on trust, innovation, and a mission to break financial barriers.
The rise of SAML Finance was unstoppable. No longer just a lending business, the company expanded to introduce SSB Loans, high-yield investment packages, invoice discounting, purchase order financing, and Ecocash remittance services. But profit alone was never the goal—the founders believed in giving back to the people. Thus, SAML Care Foundation was born, a philanthropy initiative designed to uplift the underprivileged, educate communities, and create sustainable financial solutions for those in need.
Today, SAML Finance is more than just a microfinance institution—it is a movement. A symbol of hope, resilience, and transformation. From a small $10 investment to a thriving financial powerhouse, SAML Finance stands tall as a beacon of opportunity for those who dare to dream.The story is far from over. SAML Finance is on a mission to revolutionize the financial industry in Zimbabwe and beyond, proving that even the smallest beginnings can lead to extraordinary success.
