Zambart joined youth in Ndola District in commemorating this year’s Youth Day under the inspiring theme “Arise and Soar.” The event brought together young people from across the district to celebrate their role in shaping Zambia’s future while promoting health, empowerment, and community solidarity.
Working alongside its valued partner, Youth in Action, a department of DAPP, Zambart used the occasion to provide essential health services to young people and members of the wider community. The initiative aimed to promote health awareness and encourage early detection and prevention of common conditions.
During the celebrations, Zambart offered several key health services, including:
HIV testing to promote awareness and prevention.
Blood pressure screening to support early detection of hypertension.
Tuberculosis (TB) screening to strengthen ongoing efforts in the fight against TB.
By integrating health services into the Youth Day celebrations, Zambart reaffirmed its commitment to empowering young people with the knowledge and tools they need to lead healthier and more resilient lives. Engaging with youth in community spaces not only increases access to essential services but also creates opportunities for dialogue around health, wellbeing, and prevention.
This initiative reflects Zambart’s continued mission to combine community engagement with evidence-based health interventions, ensuring that public events also become platforms for meaningful health promotion and positive change.
