Government allocated K 3 billion Kwacha for the reintegration of training street children at the Zambia national service ZNS, Skills camps in Katete and Kitwe ,respectively.
Youth and sports Deputy Minister Angela Cifire said government realizes that training of street children was cardinal as they are the future of the nation.
Ms Cifire also said it is government’s vision to see that street kids are transformed and turned into responsible productive citizens.
She was speaking at the second graduation of street kids skills empowerment programme at Chiwoko ZNS Skills camp in katete yesterday.
Ms Chifire noted that out of the 362 graduants from the youth centre 70 youths will be employed by ZNS in various fields.
She further said her ministry in collaboration with the ministry of science and technology will consider some of the graduates for further training at higher institutions of learning.
The minister pointed out that government intends to expand the programme to accommodate more disadvantaged youths adding that they will also target youths from vulnerable house holds.
Speaking earlier ZNS Brigadier General Joseph Miti said ZNS will employ 100 of the graduants.
Gen Miti pointed out that the recruitment of the street kids is aimed at stopping streetism among them due to un employment.
And earlier ZNS Chiwoko Commanding officer Major John Mwanaza noted that the training camp faces problems to acquire National registration cards NRC for the students as they had no guardians.
Major Mwanza complained that the registration Department has not been helpful in this matter.
