Liseli Initiative:

We were privileged today to host senior management and some board members from the Zambian Governance Foundation for a familiarization tour of Liseli Initiative and the work we are doing in our communities.

As part of the visit, we particularly took them to our Lilato Community Centre, where they had an opportunity to appreciate some of the work happening on the ground and engage with our vision for community transformation. We shared our mission, the heart behind our programs, and had meaningful discussions on the opportunities and challenges within our work.

We are especially grateful for the valuable insights, encouragement, and advice shared during the visit. Your perspectives and support are greatly appreciated.
Liseli Initiative is proud to be supported by the Zambia Governance Foundation under the Shift the Power (STP) Project, an initiative focused on strengthening grassroots and locally-led organizations by shifting resources, influence, and decision-making closer to communities so they can lead sustainable solutions to their own challenges.

We sincerely appreciate your time and effort in visiting us and learning more about our work. Thank you for believing in local leadership and investing in community-driven impact. 🙏🏾

It's our last day!

For our May focal project, we're making reusable sanitary pads for vulnerable girls, helping them stay in school and manage their periods with dignity.

We're just $100 away from reaching our goal, and we'd love for you to be part of it!

For every donation, we'll add a bird to our growing flock in our school, featuring your name and country as a special thank-you to you! Together, we're creating something special that will make a real difference in girls' lives.

This is your chance to be part of something big. Every dollar counts, and every bird tells a story.

Donate today and help us reach the finish line!

Liseli Initiative:

23 amazing youths joined us to paint the two insakas (traditional gathering shelters) at the center, and what a fun and meaningful day it was!

As we painted together, we also had open conversations about gender roles and what young people think about them. It was more than just painting, it was learning, sharing ideas, and building community at the same time.

We wrapped up the day by sharing lunch together and celebrating the beautiful outcome of the painting project. The insakas are now brighter, more welcoming, and filled with the spirit of teamwork and youth engagement 💛

What is a Healthy Relationship?💬✨

That’s the question youths in Mulala explored during an interactive session on Healthy Relationships. The conversation focused on the “3Cs” (Consent, Communication & Choices) and how they help young people spot abuse and build balanced, respectful relationships.

The youths talked about boundaries, respect, friendships, dating, online spaces, peer pressure and the importance of making independent decisions 👏🏾

From group discussions to open conversations, the session was full of energy, honest thoughts and real-life experiences 😅❤️

It’s always amazing seeing young people openly learning how to respect themselves and others while building healthy connections with the people around them.

So tell us 👀
What do you think makes a healthy relationship?

Liseli Initiative :

As we commemorate International Child and Youth Care Week, we celebrate the dedication and impact of Child and Youth Care Workers who continue to create safe, supportive, and empowering spaces for young people in our communities.

This week, some of our Child and Youth Care Workers under the Zambia Association Of Child Care Workers - ZACCW , Southern Chapter, through Liseli Initiative, engaged with youths in interactive awareness sessions focused on gambling and mental health. These conversations are critical in helping young people make informed decisions, build resilience, and prioritize their wellbeing.

We are encouraged to see Child and Youth Care Workers actively engaging with the community, listening to young people, and providing guidance and support where it is most needed. The interactive nature of these sessions reflects the importance of dialogue, trust, and community-centered care in shaping healthier futures for our youths.

Happy International Child and Youth Care Week!

Liseli Initiative had another meeting with the youngsters today at Lilato.
This is what they had to say about it:

Sometimes the pressure to “fit in” can lead young people into choices they never truly wanted to make. That’s why our session at Lilato Community Center focused on understanding peer pressure and how young people can confidently resist negative influences.

Together, we explored real life examples of peer pressure, discussed practical ways to avoid harmful situations, and encouraged positive decision making. The highlight of the session was the creative role plays presented by the young people themselves hilarious, relatable, and deeply educational at the same time!

It was inspiring to see such energy, honesty, and participation from the youths as they learned from one another in a safe and engaging space. 💙
