Welcome to
Luanshya Information & Learning Center
Leveraging digital equity to fulfill Luanshya’s youth potential by equipping them with resources for a successful transition to higher education, employment & Entrepreneurship.
Problem Statement
Youth unemployment in Zambia is over eighty percent and much higher in provinces outside Lusaka. Opportunities exist, but they are scattered, inaccessible, or simply unknown to most young people. There’s no single platform where Zambian youth can easily discover, apply for, and benefit from programs.
Zambia’s youth population is surging, digitally connected, resourceful, and ready to lead. But the opportunity gap remains wide, and traditional systems aren’t keeping pace. This disconnect is costing potential and we need to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity.
Solution
What if every Copperbelt youth—regardless of their economic background, could access real opportunities at the tap of a button? This is the question we have been pondering at the Luanshya Information and Learning Center since its inception. That is why we have created Ikatika – Get Connected!, a mobile app that curates and delivers up-to-date, verified entrepreneurship and business opportunities to youth in Luanshya and the entire Copperbelt. The app is tailored for Zambia’s digital realities: light on data, available in ChiBemba and designed with both urban and rural users in mind.
Our Goal
Catch new center activities as they happen
