Our Testimonials

What Our Members Say

I joined The Asikana Network immediately I completed my studies at The Copperbelt University. Initially, it was to explore and share my love for Graphics Design, but instead, the community and the network’s support encouraged me to take on challenges that have been beneficial to my personal and professional development beyond my qualifications and hobbies.

When I got my first real job,I was very excited. But my contract ended prematurely after a year and a half. After staying jobless for a few months. My friend and I heard about Asikana Network and so we joined the network. The network gave me a chance to volunteer as a basic computer instructor in government schools. With this volunteering experience I was able to get another job as a computer instructor.

Criticism is not entirely bad, objectively take it and use it to learn key areas of your life that need improvement or growth. Remember , you only stop learning when you stop living.
