Joseph Kalunga at his store in Mumbwa
With a beaming smile on his face, Joseph Kalunga laughs as he remembers his struggle to set up a small shop two years back. In the heart of the dusty town of rural Mumbwa, 140 kilometres from Zambia’s capital Lusaka, he operates right next to the bustling central bus stop. Now business is going well.
Left behind in a mobile world
deep remote areas have no connectivity
Mobile phones are a basic piece of equipment owned by just about everyone in today’s fast-moving world. They are all but essential for efficiency. As Connect Africa’s Director Dion Jerling puts it: “In the West everyone has phones. We just want them smaller, faster and better.”
The Connect Africa team would like to congratulate Regional Coordinator Lloyd Kabulebulwe and his family on the birth of baby Tupoka Mark Kabulwebulwe. He is adorable and we wish you all happiness and good health!
