1. Integrated Services to
Communities
A holistic approach to reach underserved communities in the interior
of Africa, with literacy, education, training, capacity building and
economic opportunities.

2. • OTHERS with a more limited focus are already doing this in some areas:
• Education Departments (lack funds to supply the need of each community)
• Commercial enterprises (depend on the customers ability to pay)
• NGO´s (excellent programs suffer from interruptions in funds)
• Tuition based schools (most students are from able families, leave out most)
• But all these suffer from the same fault, they only reach communities that
can ALREADY PAY their way. What is needed is a comprehensive
program that will take truly disadvantages communities and work with them
to lift them into lively communities. Then they will be able to support the
services offered to them.

3. Zambia
• In 2007-2009 we had advanced to the point that the service described here
had strong interest from certain government quarters.
• Once Zambia is started along these lines, other surrounding countries from
the same language family, can join-in on centralized resource sharing and
accountability, delivery methods and interventions.
• During this period technology companies had expressed strong interest in
partnering with government and had developed the education management
systems needed. Since then, there have been more improvements in
technology.

4. People Groups and Urban Schools
• Once certain language groups are onboard and well funcitioning; the system
can continue to expand into other people groups.
• The same systems used to reach truly disadvantaged communities will be
used by schools systems in urban settings, to provide education and training.
• The best way to protect the investments made in such a system is to continue
to expand it, making more communities connected and able to buy the
protections afforded a combined purchasing power.

5. Achieving Sustainability
• As communities develop, they will take a growing share of the cost of
services to the point of paying for it themselves.
• Shared costs and savings, from the envisioned system makes it possible to
continue to expand to more communities.
• Governments will see the benefit of cost reductions and also participate in
financial support.
• Communities will enter new economic realities that will makes them
sustainable, educated and participatory at all levels of society.

6. How will you benefit?
• At a time of tight fiscal budgets in most countries of the world, this kind of
intervention will help developed economies; as they will have more willing
customers able to afford the purchases they need. Be it equipment, services
or products, that all developing countries need.
• Economically empowered and/or educated communities will be more stable
and socially responsible communities.
• Livelyhoods and culture protected by their own means also benefit you.

7. What is needed today?
• Office space and financial support to find suitable partners.
• Financial support for a pilot Project in a limited number of communities.
• Legal and diplomatic support to approach more governments in Africa.
• Expertise to detail (once more) the equipment needed locally.

8. Your talents, influence and money.
• If this narrative is of interest to you and want to help get it to an actionable
reality, do not hesitate to contact me.
• We have registered a non-profit corporation in Zambia.
• Need to get a non-profit established in USA and/or EU.
• To truly achieve sustainability in these communites, it may take a generation.
