About the
organisation
organisation
Founded in 2021, House of Democracy is an organization dedicated to creating a space for society-especially the youth who are often marginalized in decision making bodies-to find solutions to the problems of our times by giving their perspectives on matters. We advocate for good governance and human rights, create awareness on human rights and civic participation through social programs and contribute to creating a society in which young people face the future with confidence.
We also create a public platform for policy discussion and analysis, provide leadership training and capacity building to young leaders in Zambia and make dreams come true.
