Zambia

Overview

Young people in Zambia are at risk of social exclusion and exploitation. The weak economy can’t deliver sufficient employment opportunities for the growing young population, and the education system isn’t equipping them with the skills they need to find employment or start a business.

Through this project, we’ll help around 5,400 young people by teaching business skills and providing vocational training through four youth resource centres.
