Introducing Milimo Muchanga, SERVE’s liaison with The Assumption Parish community located in Mazabuka, Zambia. Milimo is proactive and committed to youth development in his community and makes him a role model for community leadership.
Milimo recently completed a four-day youth leadership workshop with the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco in January 2022. Following these workshops, Milimo shared with us what he learnt. And now, we’d like to share it with you because it outlines youth development.
The Assumption Parish Youth Committee must be trained on the importance of volunteering to support young people while understanding their needs and on the importance of taking feedback from the youth so that we can improve the activities offered by the Youth Centre.
The Assumption Parish Youth Committee members also need to be trained on how they can fundraise to support youth through different sustainable projects.
In 2021, Irish charity SERVE worked with 11 partners in 8 countries. In Ireland, we also launched a new volunteering programme and a SDG education programme for schools. Despite the pandemic, SERVE has received generous public donations to continue its work that contributes to the Global Goals.
Irish charity SERVE offers 15 young people scholarships for a tailoring course at Nchete House in Mazabuka, Zambia. SERVE is extremely thrilled to support young people through this local programme. It addresses their challenges with a sustainable solution for youth development.
