Dear Principal

RE: PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL – UTUUNTU MU MAKWEBO

I’m writing to propose a partnership between Swampy Publishers and your centre to support your students and graduates with practical business skills that go beyond the classroom.

About The Book

Utuuntu Mu Makwebo is a** Bemba** text designed for emerging entrepreneurs. It covers:

  • Entrepreneurship basics: Mindset, starting small, and solving real community problems

  • Financial literacy: Budgeting, saving, and managing cash flow

  • Basic sales & marketing: Finding customers, pitching, Customer care, and selling with integrity

  • Personal development: Discipline, goal setting, self-reliance, resilience, and demystification of money

The goal is simple: help your graduates turn skills into income.

Partnership Options:

  1. Buy-to-resell: Purchase copies at a partner rate and resell them to students. You keep the margin.

  2. Commission sales: We supply copies. You sell them and keep a commission on every copy—no upfront cost.

  3. Adoption option - We also welcome centres that want to adopt Utuuntu Mu Makwebo as part of their entrepreneurship/life-skills module to support their “Help students succeed after graduation” initiative.

By partnering with us, your institute adds value to your training program while creating an extra revenue stream. Your graduates leave not just skilled but business-ready.

We can schedule a 15-min call at your convenience to discuss which option best fits your centre.

Thank you for considering this. Together, we can build more self-reliant, income-generating graduates.

Warm regards,

Kunda L. Londa
