PLE 2017

“I learnt that I should never allow age to limit my level of influencing change anywhere, and that has been my driving force.”

I have been planning a project called KWEZA, which means “uplift.” The main idea for this project is to encourage and promote the availability of extracurricular activities in Zambia as well as raise awareness on the importance of creative arts. I mainly have a flow of programs quite similar to YYGS, but the topics are more centered on my country and general issues that are invisible like mental health, religion and so on. I am currently still doing my research with the help of my entrepreneurial leadership class at school. I wish to pilot my project this summer if by God’s grace I am able to raise funds or find sponsorship.
