Empowering Zambia's Teachers: Gaingo Partners with NEUZ

At Gaingo, we believe in social impact, strategic partnerships, and practical solutions that improve everyday life for the people who keep Zambia moving forward. Today, we're proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership that embodies these values.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

Mr. Ernest Kapesa, Chief Marketing Officer at Gaingo, is proud to welcome NEUZ and its mission to genuinely value and uplift teachers through real, tangible benefits that strengthen their wellbeing and dignity.

"This partnership represents everything Gaingo stands for," says Ernest. "We're not just providing transportation—we're creating opportunities, reducing financial burdens, and empowering the educators who shape Zambia's future."

Why Teachers, and Why Now?

Teachers are at the heart of community development. They educate our children, inspire our youth, and build the foundation for Zambia's future. Yet mobility remains a daily challenge for many educators, especially in areas where transport costs and reliability affect time, safety, and productivity.

The Mobility Challenge

Many teachers in Zambia face significant transportation obstacles:

• High Transport Costs: Spending 30-40% of salary on daily commuting
• Unreliable Public Transport: Delays affecting punctuality and teaching time
• Safety Concerns: Especially for female teachers traveling early or late
• Limited Access: Rural schools with minimal transport options
• Time Lost: Hours spent waiting for transport instead of preparing lessons

Gaingo's Solution: Affordable, Reliable Electric Mobility

Gaingo's goal is simple: make reliable mobility accessible and affordable, starting with the people who create the future—our teachers.

What We're Working Towards

Together with NEUZ, we're looking forward to distributing EV motorbikes to teachers across Zambia, enabling efficient mobility for:

• School Routes: Reliable daily commuting to and from schools
• Community Activities: Attending meetings, workshops, and training sessions
• Daily Logistics: Running errands and managing personal responsibilities
• Rural Access: Reaching schools in areas with limited transport options
• Emergency Response: Quick mobility when urgent situations arise

The Real Impact on Teachers' Lives

Let's look at the practical benefits for a typical teacher in Zambia:

Beyond Transportation: Building Community

This partnership is about more than just motorbikes. It's about:

• Dignity: Providing teachers with reliable, professional transportation
• Safety: Reducing risks associated with unreliable transport
• Empowerment: Giving teachers control over their mobility
• Recognition: Acknowledging teachers' vital role in society
• Sustainability: Contributing to cleaner air in school communities

How the Program Works

The Gaingo-NEUZ partnership is designed for simplicity and accessibility:

1. Teacher Enrollment: Eligible teachers register through NEUZ
2. Motorbike Distribution: Gaingo provides electric motorbikes with flexible payment plans
3. Training & Support: Comprehensive training on vehicle operation and battery swapping
4. Ongoing Maintenance: Regular servicing and 24/7 technical support
5. Community Building: Connecting teachers through rider networks and events

Expanding the Vision

While we're starting with teachers, this model can extend to other essential workers who serve Zambian communities:

• Healthcare workers traveling to rural clinics
• Agricultural extension officers reaching farmers
• Social workers supporting vulnerable communities
• Government officials serving remote areas

Join the Movement

If you're a partner, institution, or stakeholder aligned with teacher empowerment and sustainable mobility, let's collaborate. Together, we can:

• Expand the program to more teachers across Zambia
• Develop additional support services for educators
• Create sustainable funding models
• Build infrastructure in underserved areas
• Share best practices with other African countries
