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 next loan to purchase mobile units for my solar energy kiosks located in off-grid areas of my district. People in these areas are in great need for the financial services offered by the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and commercial banks, since they are no financial institutions in these areas.

Income Source

The services provided by my business is greatly required by the communities where the solar energy kiosks are located.

The solar energy kiosks are the lifeblood of these communities and they offer solar products and financial services offered by the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and commercial banks.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the kiosk attendants practice social distancing and they also wear masks and gloves. The attendants also provide hand sanitizers for the members of the public.
