Merry Christmas to you too Thomas and thanks for everything you did make 2016 a success year for me! The loan you gave me made it possible for me to reach so over 150 customers with clean and healthy solar lamps! The Rent-to-own Program was made possible because of people like you who believed in my solar lamp distribution business to people who needed it most- poor households! As we enter 2017, i want you to know that the success of the Rent-to-Own Program will be because of people like you who have believed in my social business. Together in 2017 we will distribute upto 1,000 solar lamps through our Rent-to-Own Program! Wishing you a happy and Healthy New Year!

Answers to be discovered and then lived in this trans formative year of delight and self-discovery. Today we carve out a quiet interlude for our-self in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.Hoping smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'comment image

Merry Christmas TomF925! Thanks so very much for all the support you have provided so far. Thanks also for following my posts. The very first day you believed in my social enterprise and loaned me money was the day to make it possible for hundreds of household I serve have access to affordable clean energy. The Rent –to-own program I introduced was to help families/households living on less than a dollar who continues to use kerosene for lighting have an option of lighting at an affordable cost. Many poor household I serve fail to buy a solar lamp on a cash and carry basis of $13 and this proved to be a barrier to reach the people who need it most; poor household in rural and slum communities of Chipata. Yes since our introduction of the Rent to own program 95% of our customers pay for the lamp direct into my mobile account which makes the administrative cost very low so that our solar lamps can be sold at the lowest cost! My Rent to Own Program is the cheapest for the customers because with them paying $0.10 every day for the lamp they save $0.04 every day from kerosene purchase and $0.2 every day from phone charging! As you say it this solar lamps are dangerous free and more healthy! In Chipata alone, we have 82% of the population is not connected to electricity and still use traditional energy sources. Many rely on kerosene lamps for lighting. In Eastern Province alone a total of 1,200,000 still use traditional energy sources like kerosene which is harmful for their health and eats up their income! Kerosene also contributes to global warming; create risk of burns, pneumonia, and bronchitis and lung cancer. A total of 10,000,000 people in Zambia need to be moved from Kerosene use to Solar Lamp! It’s a huge social business opportunity! Just in my Province of Eastern Province a total of 1,200,000 need to be moved from Kerosene use to Solar lamp! My Rent to Own Program has the potential to reach these customers much quicker than most models that are currently been used. With our model, even people in the most remote areas will have access to this life saving product. How can Africa Leap and Chris Jones help? Am sure with your passion to displace kerosene use in rural and slum communities of Africa together we can do more. I have a write up of how I see my business helping 30,000 households switch from the use of kerosene to solar lamps in 2 years and over 135,000 households to benefit in the next five years impacting the lives of 790,254 in rural and slum communities! We can do this project together as partners. My social business, Africa Leap and Chris Jones! I also suggest I send you, Africa Leap and Chris Jones my project plan and how easy it can be for me to repay the loan if it is issued by Africa leap as an Impact Investment! If you are okey by it you can provide me with the email address for Africa Leap and yourself so that I send my plan. I already have for Chris Jones and I can send it to all of you as a cc so that we both are on the same page. Thanks for your support and your interest in my social business!

Merry Christmas Francis! Thank you for the great pictures and stories about the customers of your new Rent-to-Own program. I suppose you keep track of daily payments through cell phone money, which is common in Zambia, but not in the US ... yet. Once again, the developing world is leading the developed world with a better, faster technology. I wonder if a picture of a customer with your lamp *and* *with* *their* *phone* would convey the concept? Let me understand: if your customer pays $0.10/day, and the lamp costs $13, they pay it off in a little less than 5 months. I bet the cost during those 5 months is less than what they would spend on kerosene (and less dangerous and more healthy) What a great deal! How many (millions) of people in Zambia can be converted from kerosene to solar lamps? And how can we grow your business to quickly reach them all? Maybe AfricaLeap and Chris Jones can help!

I would humbly like to express my gratitude toward you for extending me financial help when I was in need. I was totally helpless at that point, but your support proved a boon to me. Your timely help has saved me from a big problem. I am obliged to you for this timely help of yours. It is an old saying that in your harder times, you can test your friends and relatives. I was totally hopeless when my own blood relations refused to help me. For me you are an angel who has helped me in overcoming from my harder times. Friends like you are jewel in the crown. I assure you that whenever you need any kind of help from me, I will be always there for you. I will try my best to return the amount taken from you at the earliest. Thanking you once againcomment image
