At the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) we believe in the power of peer mentorship. When young people are able to learn from someone they can relate to they are more likely to engage and apply what they’ve learned. Let’s look at some of the ways peer mentorship is being carried out at the Amos Youth Centre and in the communities we serve.

At the Amos Youth Centre, periods are no longer a source of shame, silence, or struggle—they are becoming a symbol of strength, knowledge, and self-worth. Through our Reproductive Health Access Initiative (RHAI), girls and young women are gaining access to menstrual products, accurate reproductive health information, and the emotional support they need to grow with confidence.

Munambeza's story exemplifies the transformative impact that Amos Youth Centre (AYC) has had on the lives of countless young people in Kafue, Zambia. As one of AYC's earliest alumni, her journey from a vulnerable student facing a potential school dropout to a university graduate and community mentor showcases the Centre's profound influence.

Alumni are the heartbeat of the Amos Youth Centre (AYC) and today we bring you Cynthia’s story. Cynthia’s laughter is infectious as she recalls her time at AYC in Kafue, Zambia. “I was the grammar queen! And don’t even get me started on my drama club performances,” she jokes. Her story—a blend of resilience, ambition, and AYC’s transformative programs—showcases how a holistic, community-centered organization can ignite lifelong confidence and purpose.
