Yesterday, Pakaya Initiative was proud to participate in the World Mental Health Day Commemoration hosted by Mtendere Rehab in partnership with various key stakeholders at the Zolozolo Secondary School Ground! 💚

Mental health shapes every aspect of our lives, our communities, and our future. By coming together, raising awareness, and breaking the stigma, we build a supportive environment where young people and community members feel heard, valued, and empowered to seek help.

Huge thanks to Mtendere Rehab and all partner organizations for organizing such a meaningful gathering! Let’s keep the conversation going—because your mental health matters today and every day.

Building a sustainable community starts with working together. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Migration and Society MASO

Yesterday, Migration and Society (MASO) had the pleasure of welcoming a team from Pakaya Initiative for a partnership engagement meeting.

The meeting provided an opportunity to share more about MASO, our programmes, and the work we do, while exploring potential areas of collaboration and partnership.

The discussions were productive and highlighted opportunities for both organisations to work together towards creating meaningful and lasting impact in the communities we serve.

The meeting concluded with a group photo, marking a positive step towards strengthening collaboration and building a shared commitment to community development.

Together, we can create meaningful impact.

Building momentum, one lesson at a time! ⌨️✨

Last week, we officially kicked off our youth computer training program at Pakaya Initiative, and the energy in the room has been incredible! Equipping young people with essential digital skills is key to unlocking new opportunities, driving innovation, and preparing them for the future.

Our participants are diving in with so much enthusiasm, and we can’t wait to see how far they’ll go!

What a day it was!. Together with Emerge Livelihoods we (Pakaya Initiative) jointly conducted a successful farewell to the young up coming and upgrading entrepreneurs who took part in studying the Going beyond Project. As host of emerge livelihoods, we were very happy to see all youths who applied graduating together without anyone dropouting.

This shows that young people do not only talk about wanting to change their future but do act, our youth and community development officer Atupele Kalamboquoted.

Let the youth be empowered today, tomorrow and the other days in order for them to contribute fully to national development.
