Government has awarded Skills Development bursaries worth K5,652,241.00 to 688 applicants in Munali Constituency.
The bursary scheme has been made possible using funds from the 2024 Constituency Development Fund CDF Bursaries Component.
LCC Public Relations Manager Chola Mwamba says the initiative aims to reduce illiteracy and poverty levels in the constituency.
“Parents and guardians in vulnerable homes, particularly those with special needs, should visit the Ward Development Committee WDC, Member of Parliament, Councillors, and Council offices whenever the Council advertises such opportunities,” said Ms. Mwamba in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Ms. Mwamba said that the skills development and secondary boarding sponsorships will assist in enabling underprivileged children and youths have access to compete for opportunities.
She said that the council is cognizant that children with special needs have often been marginalized and excluded from such initiatives.
