This week, our team and a delegation of young advocates actively participated in the 2026 SINAZONGWE DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE MINING INDABA at Twice Happy Lodge in Maamba.

This platform brought together government, civil society, and mining companies.

We facilitated for Children to participate as we understand that true empowerment means ensuring the next generation isn't just sitting on the sidelines.

Our children didn't just attend to deliver a powerful poem, they were there to learn, engage, and actively contribute so their voices could be heard.

By diving into discussions on environmental sustainability, water protection, and human rights, they made sure the perspective of the youth is directly reflected in the community resolutions and the final communiqué.

Today on World Environment Day, our team is live at Lusaka National Park for the national commemoration.

True family empowerment means protecting the environment our communities rely on.

Beyond today, we champion this cause year-round by supporting children’s eco-clubs and sustainable youth initiatives, inspiring the next generation to lead the charge.

In this crucial election year, the choices we make will shape the world these children inherit.

When communities and health facilities come to the table together, real change becomes possible.

Family Development Initiatives is currently conducting Facility and Community Dialogues in Chirundu and Rufunsa Districts under the Malaria Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) project.

With the support of CHAZ and DAPP we have been able to bring together DHO representatives, Malaria Elimination Officers, Facility In-charges, EHTs, and FDI teams, these sessions are identifying gaps, co-creating solutions, and working toward a future where quality malaria services reach everyone who needs them.

We are proud to stand alongside our partners at Hwpl Zambia as they host a powerful initiative this weekend: “Interfaith Sports Day: Zambia Moves You – Play Hard, Peace Harder.”

On Saturday, June 6, from 09:30 to 14:30 at the Yotam Muleya Secondary School Grounds in Emmasdale, over 500 youth, religious leaders, and community members will break down barriers not through debates, but through teamwork, relay races, and football.

Why this matters:
This isn't just about sports, it’s about translating conversations into action. Rooted in the spirit of Africa Freedom Day and Zambia’s National Values and Principles, this event brings diverse communities together to build a culture of peace and unity.

As a partner organization, we love seeing initiatives that empower the youth to drive practical, positive change. Let’s play hard and peace harder!

As we commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day observed on 28th May, Family Development Initiatives in partnership with Kansanshi Mining PLC (FQM Zambia) successfully conducted a 3 day menstrual hygiene and reusable pad-making training for in-school girls.

The training was implemented in six schools in Solwezi District namely Kimasala Primary School, Solwezi Day Secondary School, Kimiteto Secondary School, Rodwell Mwepu Secondary School, Tuvwangai Secondary School, and Solwezi Urban Secondary School.

A total of 60 girls were equipped with practical life skills on how to make and use reusable sanitary pads as a sustainable menstrual hygiene solution, reproductive and mental health.

The initiative aimed to promote menstrual health awareness, improve girls’ confidence, and support school attendance by helping girls manage their menstrual health with dignity.

At the end of the training, each participant received a hygiene kit containing one chitenge material and two reusable pads to support continued practice and personal hygiene management.

The activity forms part of ongoing efforts to raise awareness on menstrual hygiene and ensure that girls have access to information and resources that empower them to stay in school.

The leaders who gave us Africa Freedom Day dreamed of a united continent.

That unity starts with us, in the way we raise our children, love our families, and stand together.

Because freedom isn’t just a declaration. It’s a daily choice.

It lives in the values we pour into our children.
In the way we show up for one another.
In the strength of the family unit that has always been the heartbeat of Africa.

A truly free and united Africa is built from the inside out, one empowered, loving, grounded family at a time.

This Africa Day, honor the dream by living it.

Happy Africa Freedom Day 🌍

Earlier this week, our Eastern Province team was at the Adolescent Health-Technical Working Group meeting, presenting the work we’ve accomplished in the 1st quarter!

From tackling teenage pregnancy to addressing child marriage, our staff on the ground have been putting in the work, and it was a proud moment to bring those efforts to the table.

Grateful to be part of the conversations and collaborations driving real change for adolescent girls in our communities.

FDI, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), and Grassroot recently held an awareness talk at Lameck Primary School, located 30km from Chinsali boma.

The session focused on teenage pregnancy, mental health, and drug abuse.

Because of its remote location, the school deals with high rates of teen marriage, pregnancy, and substance abuse, alongside underreported cases of GBV and defilement.

The outreach aimed to give students direct information on mental health support and how to report abuse.
