Zambian Breweries (ZB) has empowered five less-privileged graduates from the House of Moses (HoM) orphanage in Lusaka with sewing machines to help them start up their own tailoring business, earn some income and support their families.
The five recently graduated in tailoring from the practical
skills development centre which is located at the orphanage.
Zambian Breweries corporate affairs director Ezekiel Sekele
said the company was committed to helping and
empowering people to improve their lives, adding that
through its empowerment programme Zambian Breweries
believed in bringing people together for a better community.
“We support entrepreneurs, whether directly linked to our
value chain or not. We, at Zambian Breweries, believe in
growing livelihoods and supporting the change that young
people in business can bring to our country,” he said.
“The story of House of Moses empowerment of five
graduates to start sewing business was a good project to
support due to the immediate benefit that the donation will
make on the families. We are also mindful of the fact that
sustained growth of the business is intertwined with the
prosperity of our people in the community,” he added.
House of Moses executive director Daisy Muzukutwa said
the orphanage started an empowerment programme, this
year, for vulnerable families after turning one of the rooms
at the ,house of moses, into a skills development centre.
HoM is an orphanage managed by the Christian Alliance of
Churches in Zambia (CACZ).
Currently the orphanage has 32 children under three years
old. Most of these are children that are abandoned in
communities and brought to the centre by social and
community development officials working with the medical
personnel. Credit: Power FM.
