About Me

Hello. My name is Ketty Shamakamba, I live in the Zambian resort town of Siavonga together with my husband and our four children.

I was born in 1989 in Ndola, a mining town in Zambia's Copperbelt Province. I love and adore my family and it is because of them that I established my business.

I hope to succeed in my chosen venture and to create sustainable employment to the youths of our country and I am grateful to the Zidisha community for giving me this opportunity to expand and grow my business.

My Business

I am the Founder and CEO of Cash Mobile Banking Solutions. The company has developed portable Energy Kiosks that provide services, such as solar products, portable battery kits and mobile money services, to people living in off grid areas of the country.

Energy Kiosks, also known as "community charging stations" are a mode of off grid services provision that use solar energy. Unlike microgrids which use a wired connections to serve their customers, Energy Kiosks act as a "walk up" retail model. For a fee, customers can recharge their mobile phones and other portable electronic devices. People can use mobile money services and also buy or rent solar products.

Cash Mobile Banking Solutions has placed several Energy Kiosks in off grid areas that are close to large multinational companies operating in rural areas. Our customers range from employees of the multinational companies, business owners, fishermen and ordinary people. Other than providing mobile money services, we also distribute solar products provided by ANGAZA and d.light.

Cash Mobile Banking Solutions plans to expand the Energy Kiosks to all districts of the country. After all the vast majority of Zambian people live in off grid areas.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use the loan to stock up on solar lanterns and mobile units for the two Solar Energy Kiosks that we have just opened up in an area of my town that is great need of the services which we provide.

Income Source

The two Solar Energy Kiosks that we have just opened up are already generating profits and I am confident that once the kiosks are stocked up they will be able to generate positive growth.
