We know that when children and youth are hungry they have difficulty concentrating and learning. Food security has always been an important part of our mission at the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) - that is why we serve over 350 hot, nutritious meals a day. 

For years, in partnership with the African Education Program, our longest standing partner, we have envisioned a space where the students and families we serve in Kafue could gain the knowledge and tools to become more food secure.

Amos Youth Centre alumni, John, has a clear vision for how to help shape a more food-secure future for the youth and families of Kafue. This September, after his final exams at the Copperbelt University, John will return to the Amos Youth Centre to lead work at Kafue’s first Urban Farming & Permaculture Learning Space - The Kia Garden.
