Investigate micro-finance in Zambia- options to expand the business centre

Status: Finished
Step: 
3

Currently there are 4 computers in the Garden business centre (internet cafe). Business has been coming in steadily and the aim is that these 4 computers will be used to their maximum capacity each day. Profits generated by the centre will be re-invested into the YOFOSO youth programmes and into expanding the capabilities of the business centre. Purchasing additional equipment such as a photocopier, or more computers and printers is part of the business plan.
We are looking for Neighbours who can investigate micro-finance organisations that operate in Zambia and to also get in touch with them about loan criteria, required paperwork, loan duration, interest, fees etc.
As YOFOSO is a registered community based organization the business centre now has the capacity to generate income, therefore obtaining a micro-loan could be a way forward. Please let us know what you find out…

Hi everyone- just by way of information, I have not received any response from any of the micro-finance orgs that I contacted.
I did find out about a small business chamber that might be able to assist YOFOSO in fidning some funds to purchase another piece of equipment:
ZCSMBA promotes the development of SMEs via provision of business
entrepreneurship skills through training; facilitation of market linkage and access to micro finance. ZCSMBA mobilizes membership of small-scale entrepreneurs at district level through District Business Associations (DBAs), which are affiliated to the Chamber.

Mulenga will try to contact them shortly to see if they can be of any assistance.
