YOUTHS CHALLENGED TO ACCESS EMPOWERMENT FUND

Ministry of Youth, Sport and Child Development Director, Cade Chikobo says there is a need for the youths to tap into the 400 million kwacha youth empowerment fund.

Speaking at Chisokone market in Kitwe, when 100 youth traders received empowerment funds, Mr Chikobo told beneficiaries that the money is a revolving fund.

He has urged the youths to use the money prudently and pay back so that other youths can as well benefit.

And speaking at the same event, Kitwe District Commissioner, Chileshe Bweupe thanked President Edgar Lungu for rolling out the empowerment to youths who are mainly traders.

Mr Bweupe said many youths have had their business affected because of the coronavirus adding that many lost employment.
