Pédagogue du mouvement / Acrobate 100%

Our partner organisation Circus Zambia (CZ) works with young people and communities from marginalized urban areas in Lusaka. Young people from these areas experience a lack of facilities and services, such as access to clean water, good education and most importantly, a supportive environment to provide mentorship and support growth. Often, they experience stigma and discrimination because of living in areas associated with criminality and drug abuse. Because of these limitations they are not able to develop to their full potential and risk ending up in criminality, drug abuse or having teen age pregnancies. Research has proven that physical exercise is an essential part in youth development and helps develop bodies and minds.
