What I'm looking for
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.

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.
