My Business
The Impact 360 | Recycling for Empowerment Community Project. The Funding will be used to launch and start the implementation of the Community Recycling for Empowerment Project under the Youth Employment Creation Initiative whose aim is to:
1. Create Employment for 50+ Youth in Lusaka Collection Officers for Recyclable Waste Materials
2. Create Employment for 20+ Professionals in Recyclable Waste Management and Administration Roles.
3. Keep our communities and environments clean and safe from diseases and avoid drainage blockages through the systematic collection of recyclable materials/garbage
4. Generating income (in the first phase of the project) for the members engaged in the project from the sale of collected recyclable materials.
The money will be used to increase productivity and scale up the project from the Central Business District into Communities where we now want to put various collection points. This will keep the unemployed youth busy and productive..
Loan Proposal
The Money will be used to Scale Up our Current Project from the Central Business Community into Townships where we have already done sensitization. The Money will be used to By Packaging Sacks for our new collection points. This money will add on the number of the current stuff we have since we will need more people to be in the field. This will in turn have contributed to creating employment and bettering livelihoods for for the people engaged in implementing this project.
