VSI TEACHES LUANSHYA STUDENTS THE ART OF KEEPING ZAMBIA CLEAN, GREEN AND HEALTHY

As part of its mandate to strengthen student participation in community service, the Visionary Students Initiative-VSI has administered the art of environmental protection to students from selected secondary schools in Luanshya District.

The trained students are members of the #VSI School Clubs. And As such, it is expected that students apply the knowledge gained on environmental protection to keep their environment clean, green and healthy. The students are also expected to share the knowledge on the matter with their peers.

This activity is part of the #VSI Youth Growth Project currently running in Luanshya District. The #VSI Youth Growth project seeks to promote mental health wellness for young women while encouraging community service and volunteerism in secondary schools and communities.

The project is financially supported by the U.S. Embassy Zambia through the Public Affairs Small Grants Program. The Public Affairs Small Grants Program provides financial support from the American people directly to Zambian community organizations committed to improving the lives of community members through sustainable projects that bolster economic development, democracy and governance, health, and education.

Utmost gratitude to the Ministry of Education -Office of the Luanshya District Education Board Secretary, Municipal Council for the continued support on the project.
