THE FORGE at Nkeyema District Chapter
Too many learners in Nkeyema 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 Nkeyema District Chapter is the local arm of THE FORGE in Western Province. It is community-led, volunteer-driven and governed by two Team Leads supported by Forge Ambassadors drawn from Nkeyema itself.
The chapter is currently in formation. Once two Team Leads and a founding ambassador team are confirmed, Nkeyema joins the national delivery calendar.
