Gregory Mweemba

Gregory is from Pemba, a town located near Macha, but is ‘home grown’ in Macha and is now a leader in Macha Works with focus on deployments, local talent and technology. He is involved with LinkNet, the organization which has the vision of establishing the Internet throughout rural Zambia. ‘I have three brothers and three sisters, my dad passed away in 2001. He was a mechanic. When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor or something like that. But I later developed interest in Information Communication Technology. When the van Stam family came to Macha, things started to change. I already had an interest in electronics and computers. So it was an opportunity for me to go to him, when I heard he thought about opening an Internet Café. Since then I developed into an ICT- Specialist and with great interest in Graphic Design. I am now looking into the future optimistically. I hope that one day I can own a graphic design/innovative firm. For me, Macha Mission is a good place to learn.
