About Nchito Community Initiative

Transforming lives from the ghetto to greatness

🚀 Our Mission

To uplift and empower young people from marginalized communities in Zambia by providing them with job training, life skills, mentorship, and access to employment opportunities. We are committed to instilling hope, fostering peace, and equipping youth with the tools they need to lead productive and dignified lives.

🌟 Our Vision

A Zambia where every young person, regardless of background, has equal access to growth, employment, peace, and a hopeful future.

📅 Our History

Nchito Community Initiative was founded in Lusaka with the desire to break the cycles of poverty and exclusion affecting youth in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Recognizing that many young people are overlooked by society, we created a platform to teach them how to fish, not just give them the fish.
