Project Proposal

Funding is sought to purchase additional books for showcase.
The text book market has been positively impacted by the newly introduced free educational policy in Zambia.
Government schools are purchasing text books starting from primary upscaling to secondary.
The funding has low risks as most government schools are paying for purchases in short periods.
Nesher Enterprise has established a strong network with schools and parents association.
In some cases Nesher Enterprise is allowed to freely sale text books on schools open days.Invariably there is need to increase books stock.
Apart from mobile reselling we envisage opening a physical bookstore.

    Our payments have been delayed where we supplied.The government schools payment threshold for schools has been changed and our pending payment is above the school Headteacher authority.Therefore,it has added to bureaucracy and delay.
