Giving knowledge & information to the community

From the Director

My fellow friends, colleagues, youth and the Community of Kariba, you are greeted accordingly. This newsletter brings a variety of stories being written by the community members especially the youth. Patsaka’s current programmes are focused on addressing priority community needs through home grown or local solutions. Youth have been placed at the forefront of the development process. Thus they have been empowered to be active decision makers and advocate as well as agents for change. The organisation uses two platforms of service delivery namely; the existing community structures, and the youth. These are being empowered to provide quality and comprehensive services to the community. In short Patsaka harnesses and directs all resources in one chosen direction of promoting community development through youth led interventions. The strategic directions are focused on making sure the potential is maximised to impact on poverty, health, illiteracy, child abuse and women marginalisation directly through advocacy programmes, economic strengthening and education initiatives, both formal and non formal education.

This edition amplifies the work that is being done by the youth and existing community structures by the stories, programmes and publications herein contained. The mission remains provision provision of edutainment with the vision to have an Informed and educated community of Kariba. You will find contributions which shall be permanent features of the Newsletter from the Municipality of Kariba, EMA Kariba, The Chief and Programmes columns. There shall also be Entrepreneurship; Health issues columns coming in the next edition. It is our belief and hope that you enjoy this edition.
