Elias Chalumbila trained with us at the Centre for Excellence:

“I heard about Built It when I came to visit my parents in Ten miles area. I met a man who stays next to my parent’s house and works for Zambia National Service. He told me about Build It, and suggested I find out more.

So I visited the training centre, got the information I needed, applied for training. Fortunately I was picked!

Everything is now exciting for me. Training at Build It has opened up my eyes… Having worked for a company as a casual, I know how it hurts to have no skill because one is subjected to all sort of work, even under unfavourable conditions.

So, with this skill I will be able to find jobs that are sustainable and more stable. I plan to build a house for myself and my parents once I become financially capable. I strongly believe this is a stepping stone for me to achieve great things in life.”
