Zambian women are creating small businesses providing much-needed jobs to others in their communities.

Zambia’s Western Province has long been neglected by the Zambian government, leading some Western Zambians to get so discouraged that they have even considered secession. Christian Empowering Microfinance (CEMFIN) has responded by bringing hope to hundreds of families in the region. CEMFIN offers small micro-loans, basic business training, and spiritual encouragement to its clients to enable them to create the much-needed jobs for themselves and others in Western Zambia. The opportunities for growth are great, and CEMFIN is taking the necessary steps to be able to have an even greater impact in the years ahead. PEER Servants would like to grant at least $20,000 to CEMFIN in 2016. The funds will go towards loan capital for new and existing clients, CEMFIN’s general operating expenses, capacity building of the CEMFIN staff, and more. 100% of your donation will go to empower the materially poor in Zambia. PEER Servants gets monthly program reports from CEMFIN while maintaining regular calls and making generally annual visits that make certain funds sent to CEMFIN are used well.
