The Gauntlet is thrown!

Chipulukusu Kafwa to the rescue!
The saga of the bicycle income generating project goes on. The Zamtan group has brought in more than 446,500 KR this past year. It takes a long time for the money to add up when the bikes are usually rented for 2500 per hour. Good job!

Different story in Chipulukusu for a very good reason. The chairman of the project is also the contractor that worked night and day to finish the Kafwa Center on time. When we had a meeting with the Kafwa about the bicycles (which will be stored in the new Kafwa Center) they felt, however, there should be no excuses. One said "men and projects!" Another said "the project should go to the Kafwa to run -- it failed because it was run by men." It was finally decided to turn it over to the Kafwa to see what they could do to which Joyce Ngosa said, "No more guys, just we women." The jury is out on the results but the Kafwa have a stellar reputation for getting things done so I'm putting my money on them!
