JOIN THE JOURNEY

JOIN THE JOURNEY Join the Journey (JTJ) is a Christian organization that empowers women in Zambia to increase their economic capacity to feed their families by providing business training and small loans. To achieve this, the organization provides grant fund to its Zambia implementing partner, Spark Zambia, who then issue those funds as loans to eligible beneficiaries at a near-zero interest rate. Beneficiaries selected are underserved women who would not otherwise qualify for a traditional bank loan. Loan funds are directed specifically to help individuals expand their businesses and in turn use profits to enhance their livelihoods, fulfilling Join the Journey's core mission to alleviate poverty while extending the principles of Jesus Christ. The organization also oversees and coordinates a virtual coaching program that connects business leaders from around the global with women business owners that are program beneficiaries in Zambia.
