Founder and Executive Director for The Determinants, Chikondi Njaya said this on Friday during the launch of Luso Pa Top Project which is a cross impacting project aimed at engaging the youth in creative works and address challenges they face.
“This project has two overall dimensions which are promoting talents for the youth and generating income for our education basket which is intended to carter for needy students who are in universities and secondary schools,” said Njaya.
He said by involving youths in different activities, the project seeks to reduce malpractices that can happen due to idleness.

“Many youths are idle and this is leading to many of them committing suicide due challenges they are facing. The idleness is also dragging them to be involved in transgender sexual relationships which leads to sexually transmitted infections as well as issues to do with gambling.
“Therefore, this project will prevent them from doing such practices because they will be engaged in creative works,” Njaya added.
Council Chairperson for Chiradzulu District, Charles Chigwenembe applauded The Determinants for the initiative saying the project will empower youths and his office is ready to support it.

Among other activities that happened during the launch includes tree planting, panel discussion, dancing competitions among others.
