Hello subscriber subscriber,

On all fronts Jacana made big steps last month.

The Rabobank believes in our approach.

The Rabobank staff fund covers 60% of the guidance costs for 8 small entrepreneurs in Zambia.

This also means that the remaining 40% needs to be covered by crowd funding.

This means that the cost of the following entrepreneurs are now fully covered:

Tailor, Mirriam

Follow Mirriam here.

and Wedding planner,

Ireen.

Follow Ireen here.

The following entrepreneurs require just a modest remaining contribution:

Lodge manager; Hilda

Welders; Joseph and Jona Zulu,

Ice cream producer; Xavier,

and Cooking oil producer; Wamunjima.

New group

A new series of trainings started on 26th of February. Looks like, we are going to recruit a few enthusiast and inspired entrepreneurs again for the individual guidance of their expansion process.
