STORYLINE:
In an economy where jobs are hard to come by, many people in Zambia are coming up with various innovations to make ends meet.
One such person is 34-year-old Chanda Zimba, a resident of Lusaka, the country's capital. She turns discarded car tires into nicely decorated tables for both home and office use, driven by the artistic skills developed during her school days.
SOUNDBITE 1 (English): CHANDA ZIMBA, Chief executive officer of Nalu's Creation
"Since childhood, I've always liked doing things differently. I didn't want to do what everyone was doing, like makeup or baking. So I always love challenges. I always love doing my own thing."
She started making bottle decorations and wall hangers before venturing into making tables from car tires, as the materials were readily available.
Zimba has been running the business for the last two years. Although progress has been slow, she is optimistic that it will pick up, as she has received a lot of inquiries after posting the tables on various social media platforms. Some of the calls were even from neighboring countries.

"With the platforms and the opportunity, people are really appreciating my work, and people are buying (my work). A lot of people have posted my work. I've had people calling me from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. So this has really attracted people in different countries, which really means a lot for my business."
