What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to further advocate for youth empowerment and community health initiatives.

I am a goal-oriented and results-driven individual with a strong passion for capacity building and delivering impactful services to marginalized and underprivileged youth. My commitment to fostering positive change drives me to improve the living standards of vulnerable communities in Luapula Province through strategic youth mobilization, advocacy, and empowerment initiatives.

Currently, I serve as the Program and Advocacy Lead at All For One Initiative Zambia, where I develop and conduct impactful programs, including climate change awareness initiatives. My role involves representing the organization in stakeholder meetings, creating engaging content for social media, and coordinating outreach programs. My previous experience as a Youth Advisor at Plan International Zambia allowed me to provide strategic guidance on child and youth programs, enhancing community impact through sensitization campaigns and community-based initiatives.
