Who we are
Registered NGO · Zambia · NYDC Reg. No. 0008267
Youth Na Power Initiative Zambia (YNP) is a youth-led, registered non-governmental organization working to promote peace among young people aged 16 to 30. Established in August 2024 and formally registered in November 2025, our head office is in Ndola, with an active chapter at the Copperbelt University in Kitwe and program reach across universities and colleges in both cities.
For us, peace is not simply the absence of war. It is the presence of opportunity, inclusion, gender equality, climate justice, access to quality sexual and reproductive health and rights, and access to empowerment in all its forms. This understanding shapes everything we do.
This is the power of youths. This is Youth Na Power.
What we work on
Since our inception we have delivered leadership trainings, webinars, masterclasses, and topical sessions across six core thematic areas.
02
Capacity Building
Trainings, masterclasses, and mentorship that turn potential into practical skills young people can use.
03
Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights
Access to quality SRHR information and services, so every young person can make informed choices.
04
Mental Health
Safe spaces, awareness, and peer support that put young people's wellbeing at the center.
05
Climate Change
Climate justice education and youth-driven action for the communities most affected.
06
Youth Empowerment & Gender Equality
Entrepreneurship, innovation, and equal opportunity, with young women supported to lead.
Our strategic expansion
No young person shut out of opportunity
Our 2025 pilot in Ndola revealed a critical gap: displaced and refugee youth wanted access to the same opportunities but were being excluded. We responded by opening our activities to them, and this discovery now shapes our strategic direction.
Today we are expanding into the Meheba and Mayukwayukwa refugee settlements, building 50/50 hubs where host-community and refugee youth learn and build ventures together. Through our Two Hands family framework, we work directly with parents and relatives to make sure young women can join, stay, and complete our programs.
Genuine peace requires genuine inclusion.
Strategic partnership
Working with the National Youth Development Council
Our long-term alliance with the National Youth Development Council (NYDC) Zambia grew out of our pilot supporting young entrepreneurs. Together we are connecting displaced youth directly to commercial networks, enterprise training resources, and market opportunities. This alliance is bridging the social and economic divide between marginalized refugee youth and host-community networks.
We don't build potential. We unlock it.
Young people already carry the ideas, the drive, and the creativity to change their communities. What's missing isn't ability. It's access. When you partner with us, you are not funding a program. You are investing in a generation that is already capable and simply needs the door held open.
Partner with us. Fund a training. Open a door.
