Amplifying the Voices of Hard-to-Reach Youth

This project empowers marginalized youth, women, and people living with disabilities in rural communities across Copperbelt, Luapula, and Northwestern Provinces by strengthening their participation in governance and policy decision-making.

Many young people face barriers such as geographical isolation, limited economic opportunities, and lack of platforms to influence policies affecting their lives. Through leadership and advocacy training, youth-led advocacy hubs, policy dialogue sessions, and community awareness campaigns, the project equips youth with the skills and networks needed to engage with local authorities.

The initiative promotes collaboration between youth, policymakers, and community leaders to support inclusive governance and youth-friendly policies that improve livelihoods in rural Zambia.

CDF Sensitization 2026

Future-Preneurs Zambia (FPSZ) in partnership with Mufulira Municipal Council is implementing a civic education initiative to strengthen transparency, participation, and accountability in the use of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

Many citizens in Kankoyo, Kantanshi, and Mufulira Central have limited access to clear information about how CDF works. FPSZ is addressing this by simplifying and translating CDF guidelines into Bemba and conducting community engagement activities.

Through community meetings, roadshows, and simplified materials, the project empowers citizens—especially women and youth—to actively participate in planning and monitoring local development projects funded through CDF.

Empowering youth nd women in Zambia's mining Regions

This initiative promotes sustainable livelihoods for women and young people through savings groups, entrepreneurship training, and access to small business opportunities.

The program helps participants develop financial literacy, improve household income, and strengthen community resilience through locally driven economic activities.

Mufulira and Across Zambia

Geographical Coverage

Mufulira, meaning "Place of Abundance", is a historic mining town located in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia with a population of approximately 162,889 people (2021 census).

The town was established in the 1930s around the site of the Mufulira Copper Mine located on its north-western edge.


Mufulira is strategically positioned about 16 km from the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo . It also serves as an important gateway connecting the Copperbelt Province to Luapula Province, making Luapula part of Mufulira’s commercial hinterland.

The town is well connected by road infrastructure:

  • 45 km to Kitwe
  • 55 km to Chingola
  • 57 km to Ndola

These connections make Mufulira an important economic and social hub for surrounding communities, which is why Future-Preneurs Zambia focuses its community empowerment and governance programs in this area and across Zambia.

Stories Of Change

Adrian Nsama – Mufulira Natural Resource Governance Committee Secretary

Before the project, Adrian Nsama had no practical skills and no capital to start a business. Opportunities felt distant, and self-reliance seemed out of reach. That changed when the project introduced him to structured training, hands-on mentorship, and the support of a community savings group.

Through the skills he acquired, Adrian established a small but growing enterprise focused on raising and selling tree seedlings, contributing not only to his household income but also to environmental sustainability in his community. With access to savings and financial discipline learned through the group, he diversified his income further by starting a small trade in paraffin, sold in affordable quantities to meet local demand.

Today, Adrian is able to support his family with dignity and confidence. More than that, his journey has reshaped how he is seen and how he sees himself. Once underestimated, he is now a respected example of what determination, opportunity, and community support can achieve. His story has become a source of inspiration for many young people and women in his community, particularly those who once doubted him, proving that with the right support, women and youth can rise, lead, and thrive.
