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.

Teddy’s journey with the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) is a testament to the power of mentorship, resilience, and opportunity at the Learning & Leadership Center in Kafue, Zambia where it all began. An alumnus for over ten years, Teddy joined AYC in the 10th grade alongside his three close friends.

Ceasar Samwaka’s connection to the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) began as a 10th grader when he first stepped through the doors of the Learning & Leadership Centre in Kafue, Zambia. Little did he know that the organization would not only change the course of his life, but also inspire him to dedicate his career to helping others achieve their dreams.

The tutoring program at the Amos Youth Centre’s Learning & Leadership Center in Kafue, Zambia has stood the test of time and transformed lives. From its humble beginnings, born out of a desire to provide educational support to young minds, it has blossomed into one of the most vital pillars of the center's mission.
