Today, Safe Strides Initiatives successfully held the Stakeholder Consultative Forum for the Youth Voices for Safer Streets Projec at Mahatma Gandhi Secondary School.

The forum brought together key stakeholders to share ideas, experiences, and recommendations on how young people can play a stronger role in promoting road safety, safer mobility, substance abuse prevention, and youth-led governance.

Participants engaged in meaningful discussions around three key themes: Road Safety Advocacy & Youth Engagement, Substance Abuse Prevention & Adolescent Health, and Youth-Led Governance, Partnerships & Sustainability.

The discussions generated valuable recommendations that will help shape the project’s implementation, advocacy priorities, and stakeholder engagement going forward. UN Youth Affairs Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts Ask RTSA National Youth Development Council - Zambia

On July 8th, 2026, Safe Strides Initiatives (SSI) visited Mahatma Gandhi Secondary School in Mtendere, Lusaka, with a clear goal: to strengthen and build the capacity of the newly formed Student Prevention Club (SPC) committee, the pupils who have volunteered to lead substance abuse prevention efforts in their own school.

👥 Each newly selected SPC executive member received hands-on training using SSI's Student Prevention Club Leadership Manual, covering peer-led prevention, life skills, and how to plan and run awareness campaigns—equipping them to lead with confidence long after SSI leaves the room.

The day opened with a prayer led by a pupil, setting a tone of unity and shared purpose.

Alongside the committee training, SSI also engaged the wider student body through a lively sensitization session—role-plays, group discussions, and Q&A on the dangers of drug and substance abuse—giving the new committee their first taste of the peer-education work ahead of them.

Educational materials were distributed to both students and teachers, to reinforce continued learning and advocacy beyond the day itself.
This marks an important milestone in building a peer-driven prevention network at Mahatma Gandhi Secondary School—one led by young people, for young people.
