Zambia: Kalomo women

Description: Women of Kalomo. The women of Kalomo district, some 400 kilometres South of Lusaka are influencing and transforming the face of the district, socially and economically with the help of new technologies. These women under the Kalomo Bwacha Women’s ICT Club, are using the only and first resource centre of women in the district to improve other women’s money making activities by using the internet to market their produce. In turn, this helps to increase their money base and therefore, the circulation of money in the district. Kalomo is a rural district and is mainly dependent on farming as it has very few companies offering jobs to the indigenous people.
