What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

Need help in branding the organization, resource mobilization and increasing the organizational influence with my community

Actions I’ve taken so far

Sought advise from potential partners as well as civic leaders. Also approached multiple micro-financing institutions for help and advice

My future goals

I aim at leading an organization that will reduce the reliance on government as an employer in Zambia by providing training to developing entrepreneurs, encouraging meaningful corporate social responsibility among established businesses within our community and promotion of civic engagement and the spirit of volunterrism

My motivations to work with a mentor

I have great intentions and aspirations but i have come to learn with time that these are not enough for me to make the change I desire to see. I need help in ensuring that I make my community a palace where systems and processes will not only be a reality but will be seen to be a reality as this will give hope to the least among us


About my venture

Development Fanatics Started 2018

I registered a non-profit organization that focuses on promoting local business development, civic engagement and motivation to members of my community from marginalized communities. This is an organization that is funded solely by me with profits from my small pharmacy retail business. The effect of covid19 has negatively affected my pharmacy business and as such the operations of my non-profit institution

Countries of operation: Zambia
