🏢 WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU VISIT THE MUFULIRA EMPOWERMENT CENTRE?

A person visiting the Mufulira Empowerment Centre should expect a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment where they can seek information, participate in relevant activities, learn new skills, receive guidance, or be connected to appropriate opportunities and services.

The Centre is being established on the understanding that empowerment begins with being heard, informed and connected.

You may come to the Centre looking for information, an opportunity, guidance, skills development, support or simply direction on where to go for help.

And while we may not have every answer or the ability to directly address every challenge, we will always endeavour to point you in the right direction.

Where the Centre cannot directly provide the assistance required, we will endeavour to provide an appropriate referral or linkage to an organisation, institution, professional, stakeholder or service provider that may be better positioned to assist.

We will not promise to solve every problem.

But we will seek to ensure that every person who approaches the Centre is:

👂 HEARD — because your concern matters.

💡 GUIDED — because the right information can help you make better decisions.

🔗 CONNECTED — because sometimes the solution lies with the right person, organisation, institution or opportunity.

🤝 RESPECTED — because everyone deserves dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances.

The Mufulira Empowerment Centre is therefore not a place where we promise miracles. It is a place where we create access, information, learning, connections and opportunities for positive change.

🤝 WE ARE OPEN TO PARTNERSHIPS AND SUPPORT

The establishment and success of the Mufulira Empowerment Centre is a collective responsibility.

Young People for Positive Change Zambia (YPFPC Zambia) is ready to welcome any support, partnership, collaboration or contribution that promotes youth development and strengthens our communities.

Whether you are an organisation, company, government institution, community group, professional, development partner, well-wisher or individual who believes in empowering young people, there is room for you to be part of this journey.

Your support could contribute towards:

📚 Youth education and information
💻 Skills development and digital literacy
🎯 Mentorship and career guidance
💼 Entrepreneurship and economic empowerment
📻 Youth-focused radio and awareness programmes
🤝 Community outreach activities
🌱 Youth participation and leadership development
🏢 The continued development and sustainability of the Centre

We believe that when we come together, we can create more opportunities for young people and build stronger communities.

Know the process. Protect your investment.

Many Zambians lose money because they buy land through illegal or irregular allocations. Here is a simple guide to acquiring State Land legally.

The Legal Process

1. The Local Authority (Council) identifies and plans available land within its jurisdiction.

2. The land is submitted to the Ministry of Lands for approval and plot numbering.

3. Qualified surveyors survey the land and establish official boundaries.

4. The Council advertises available plots through newspapers, radio, notice boards, websites, or official social media pages.

5. Interested members of the public apply for the advertised plots.

6. Successful applicants are communicated to and issued with a Council recommendation.

7. The Ministry of Lands processes the application and issues an Offer Letter.

8. The applicant pays the required government fees and completes the legal process before the lease is registered.

Protect Yourself from Land Fraud

- Never buy land that has not been verified.

- Do not pay money into personal accounts for Council plots.

- Always demand official receipts.

- Verify the plot and documents with the relevant authorities.

- Remember: A Council recommendation is not the same as a Title Deed.

Golden Rule: 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙.

Let's educate one another and protect our hard-earned money from illegal land deals.

Young People for Positive Change Zambia (YPFPC Zambia) was privileged on Saturday, 8th August 2026, to host the Free Press Initiative (FPI) for a Media and Information Literacy sensitisation training held in Mufulira.

The training is part of FPI’s ongoing initiative to equip communities across Zambia with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively understand, navigate and responsibly engage with the media and digital space in an increasingly digital era.

The training covered a number of important topics, including cyberbullying, critical thinking, responsible use of social media, identifying and debunking fake news and misinformation, as well as promoting informed decision-making and responsible media consumption.

The training further capacitated Young People for Positive Change Zambia and other participating stakeholders with practical knowledge to critically assess information, make well-informed decisions and promote responsible engagement both online and within our communities.

As an organisation committed to empowering young people and contributing to positive change in our communities, YPFPC Zambia deeply appreciates the Free Press Initiative for this important gesture and collaboration.

We look forward to strengthening this partnership and exploring more opportunities for collaboration as we continue working together to create a positive, informed and responsible environment in our communities and in the digital space.

As Zambia go on Polls remember, 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬.

Zambia decides in few days from now and the country is politically charged, I can't wait for this period to come to an end and come back to normalcy as a country.

Politics can be a powerful way to serve society but it should never become the only source of your identity, purpose or hope .

Politics should focus on ideology to improve people's lives not politics of personality assassination, create lifelong enemies or inherit other people's bitterness and hatred over politics.

Supporting a political party is your democratic rights but don't let politics divide you from your family, friend or community. Remain peaceful.

In every elections,there is a winner and a loser. Political leaders may reconcile and move on but for you on ground in society it will take years and affect your social life .
