DavidWeatherall CEO EBFIZambiaLtd PlotNo.2624Senkobo, Livingstone,Zambia Email:david@ebfi.org Website:www.ebfi.co.zm Mobile:(+260)979359299Office:(260)213327108 EBFI offers prospective stakeholders, investors and sponsors - a window of opportunity long term to invest in our various projects in Zambia which is a developing stable country with huge potential. The investment package has good securities with long term investment returns. Zambia shall become one of the driving forces with merging economies in the near future with the correct mechanisms in place. GreenTechnologyInvestments Green Technology is a trend the way the Financial world is moving forward. The Bio Alternative Energy is an urgent need for Zambia as a cost effective long term sustainable energy source, Investors truly need to exercise innovation for this Development. CommercialDevelopmentInvestments The Fatal Accident Rate between the Livingstone border post and Lusaka is main highway is indeed staggering. The cause of this is the lack of a trucking stop for motorists to stop, eat and rest. To meet this need, EBFI has developed its Commercial Centre carefully designed as a high-tech, solar energy powered facility to accommodate an urgent need for the commercial trucking companies throughout the African bordering countries passing through Zambia. We thus invite serious stakeholders to invest long term to create the infrastructure needed for the developing economy. As the Walvis Bay Corridor commented, they would like EBFI to build 4 Commercial Centers along the corridor route, the project would certainly help reduce inflated commodities as the transport sector can move cost effectively. FoodSecurityPrograms EBFI owns a 412 hectare farm for its commercial agricultural programs for growing various crops such as maize, soya beans, and vegetables. This is a food security mitigation program in response to the global food crisis. Donors and sponsors are hereby given a chance to get fully involved in this project. EBFI would really appreciate donors and sponsors to support us in machinery, expertise and funds, they are very welcome to visit and stay on the farm. ConcernsandCharityPrograms EBFI recognizes that children are the future of our world and deserve strategic support for child development. Standing against vices such as child abuse, child labor and child illiteracy, EBFI seeks to offer support and funding for orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs) involving feeding programs, clothing, education, water & sanitation and sporting events.
