Josephine Bwalya (18 years) is from Kalundu, a rural area near Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. She lives with her single mother and three younger siblings. Josephine graduated from the Matero Girls High School in 2005 with a Senior Grade 12 certificate. Josephine was nominated by the Zambian Wildlife Authority to study at the SA College of Tourism.

She is being trained in culinary art, housekeeping, front office management, food and beverages, management and entrepreneurship. Upon completion of her studies, Josephine will work in one of the Zambian Wildlife Authority national parks. She dreams of owning her own lodge in Zambia. In the meantime she will be supporting her mother and her younger siblings contributing towards their education.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Information about trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. (Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.)

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

Meine Freundin aus der Nähe Luanshya, Sambia hat auch eine ähnliche oder sogar die gleiche Ausbildung hinter sich und ist nun seit geraumer Zeit auf der Suche nach einer seriösen Arbeit. Leider musste sie schon oft wegen untragbaren Vorkommnissen ihre Arbeitsstelle wechseln. Mittlerweile verzweifelt sie schon fast, weil sie einfach nichts seriöses findet, dabei würde sie auch in anderer Branche arbeiten, wenn sie nicht nur immer ausgebeutet werden würde. Sie überlegt auch, etwas eigenes auf die Füße zu stellen, aber natürlich fehlt ihr das Kapital.
Nun, wie könnte sie aus dieser Situation herauskommen? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es für sie, endlich Geld zu verdienen? Wissen Sie einen Rat?
