THE FORGE at Choma District Chapter
Too many learners in Choma District make decisions about their future with no guidance, no exposure and no one to ask. The chapter puts trained local volunteers in front of them, in their own schools, in their own language.
The Choma District Chapter is the local arm of THE FORGE in Southern Province. It is community-led, volunteer-driven and governed by two Team Leads supported by Forge Ambassadors drawn from Choma itself.
The chapter delivers career guidance, leadership training and enterprise exposure into secondary schools and youth groups across Choma District, reporting into the national programme office.
