Jerome Fleischer School — Lusaka, Zambia
Partners: Zambia Messianic Fellowship & Messianic Jewish Africa Support Foundation
Goal: Pair academic education with entrepreneurship training and business development to move graduates into real jobs and income.
Description: JFS provides education for orphans but has been frustrated in not having a viable path for those students to achieve meaningful employment. EDI, making use of Colin Christensen’s proven system, will be providing self-employment training and support to students in the 12th and 11th grade so they have a path to income upon graduation.
Status: Upon starting the project, we immediately encountered problems in providing the necessary training due to a lack of online communication capabilities. EDI has provided funds so JFS can secure a Starlink system. Initial training of ‘trainers’ (teachers) commenced in April.
