A severe storm destroyed classrooms, vocational training workshops, computers, and essential equipment at a children's training centre in North-Western Zambia. This project seeks urgent support to rebuild safe learning spaces, restore skills training programmes, and help vulnerable children, girls, youth, and persons with disabilities regain hope, education opportunities, and livelihoods. This project aims to urgently support the rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged infrastructure.
Children and youth in many rural and peri-urban communities of North-Western Zambia face high levels of poverty, unemployment, school dropout, early marriages, teenage pregnancies, and limited access to vocational skills training. The Charity Centre for Children and Youth Development has been one of the few safe community spaces addressing these challenges. The recent storm disaster has significantly worsened the situation by destroying training facilities and equipment.
This project will rebuild damaged classrooms and vocational training workshops, replace destroyed computers and equipment, and restore safe learning spaces for vulnerable children and youth. By resuming skills training, STEM education, and entrepreneurship programmes, the project will help reduce school dropout, unemployment, and early marriages. It will also strengthen disaster-resilient infrastructure to ensure continuity of life-changing services.
Rebuilding the training centre will create long-term opportunities for vulnerable children and youth to access education, digital skills, and vocational training. This will improve employability, support entrepreneurship, and reduce poverty, early marriages, and school dropout rates. Strengthened infrastructure and community resilience will ensure sustainable delivery of empowerment programmes, enabling young people to build independent and productive futures.
