Ichalo Chesu - Zebron Nyirenda | Open Forum

At 9 am EST on Ichalo Chesu we are talking to another Zambian with a big heart for the Zambian youth. Zebron Nyirenda is a Zambian currently living in the US with a passion to give back to the Zambian community. He is the former Lusaka YMCA Youth Chairman. He had joined YMCA after graduating from school. As Youth Chairperson, Zebron was in charge of over 2,000 youths from four Lusaka branches - Libala, Lusaka West, Kalingalinga and Chibombo. In giving back to the community, Zebron volunteered as a coordinator with Right to Play. In June 2003, he did some collaborative work between the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and Zambia National Measles Campaign that helped vaccinate about 5 million children nationwide. Zebron's resume is extensive - he worked with Action for Children - that fed street kids, he also organized youth empowerment programs like camps, workshops on Peer Education and Counseling and more. He attained a diploma in Sociology from Evelyn Hone College.

Zebron has plans to go back and reinvest in the field he knows best. With a strong network of friends, he is strategizing and identifying potential donors to give to his charity. He knows and understand this part of charity work, and he will be going back to Zambia soon once ready.
