I'm Clifford Nkolola a third born in the family of nine born from from peasant farmer parents. Grew up in village set up and did my both primary and secondary education with a lot of hardships as my parents could not manage to sponsor me. went to tertiary level with a lot of hardships. currently I'm serving as a teacher trying to educate my family members which has limited my education upgrade. I'm the only one so far who has reached tertiary level in the family. I have responsibilities to raise my kid brothers and sisters to a better leve of education.
In 2015 I registered a teacher's training college in Zambia using my own little funds but then it has been hard for me to begin enrolling students as I have no premises to do the training. I need money to rent a college premise and buy certain equipments to help me run the business. the college is earmarked to meet the needs of the local people in Gwembe Valley who have been neglected in terms of tertiary institutions that are confined along the rail line. The college is in the heart of people who were displaced during the construction of Kariba dam by the World bank. these people were not really compasented and are living in hardships. Once the business settles it will be able to fund itself as students pay user fees. this will be the cheapest college in the country so that many youths can be trained and help their families to improve the standard of living.
I wish to use the loan for printing the brochures for advertising. The cost for 100 copies is $100 us dollars.
