We want to spread a positive message through music, says a refugee music band in Zambia

Caritas Czech Republic in Zambia helps refugees who have fled here mainly from neighboring countries due to violent conflicts. In Zambia, they often live in one of the large refugee settlements of Mayukwayukwa, Meheba and Mantapala, as well as in Lusaka. And it is in Lusaka where we have focused on supporting young refugees and opened youth friendly corners to offer the youth a place to spend time in a meaningful way. A music group called Strong Youths was formed in one of these centers.

In Zambia, challenges still remain in maternal and infant mortality. Childbirth safety has thus become one of our priorities in the country. For example, we introduced the so-called Mother’s shelters, accommodation near clinics for women in the last days of their pregnancy. This ensures the women receive the necessary medical care in time.
