Bakashana | Kasama is a brand that aims to inspire and empower Zambian youth, particularly girls, by offering them a violence-free future of choice. They achieve this through a range of programs and services, including education, livelihood training, health services, leadership mentoring, and cultural exchange. Bakashana embraces a strength-based and culturally relevant approach, combining ancestral wisdom with access to contemporary resources to empower young people to become leaders in their communities.

Their primary focus is on supporting young women in rural areas who have completed their grade 7 education but lack the financial or familial resources to attend secondary school (grades 8-12). Located near Kasama, the provincial capital of Zambia's Northern Province, Bakashana is dedicated to working with young women from rural areas as they find joy and purpose in their work, community, and life. They also offer opportunities for individuals and organizations to get involved, whether through donations, sponsorship of young women, or spreading the word about their important work.

Bakashana is proud to be verified by independent, third-party organizations. Stay connected with their mission and impact by subscribing to their newsletter
