Munali Constituency: Govt awards K5.6 million in skills development bursaries

The government has awarded Skills Development bursaries totaling K5,652,241.00 to 688 applicants in Lusaka Province’s Munali Constituency.

Funded by the 2024 Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Bursaries Component, this initiative aims to provide opportunities for youths in the constituency to improve their lives.

Area Member of Parliament, Mike Mposha, handed over the cheques to the youths on Monday at Chelston High School.

“This effort aims to eradicate illiteracy and poverty in the constituency and throughout the country by providing youths with the skills and knowledge they need to contribute to the country’s economic growth and development,” Mposha said.

He urged parents and guardians of vulnerable children, especially those with special needs, to visit the Ward Development Committee (WDC) for assistance.

Additionally, parents and guardians can seek information and support from the office of the Member of Parliament, Councillors, and Council offices whenever the Council offers such opportunities.

“The skills development and secondary boarding sponsorships will assist underprivileged children and youth in accessing and competing for opportunities,” Mposha stated.
