Chipo: training kids and trainers.
Zambia
Growing up, Chipo planned to be a professional soccer player and was trained by Zambia’s most recognized player and coach, Kalusha Bwalya. When an injury forced Chipo to find another vocation, he studied to be an accountant and began to work for Fountain of Hope, an organization that supports street kids in the capital city Lusaka.
Chipo’s role as bookkeeper did not stop him from starting a soccer team for Fountain of Hope. He was also asked to represent the organization at Street Kids International’s pilot street health workshop in September 2002.
Chipo’s enthusiasm for facilitating groups made him a star participant at the street health training and he has since become a lead trainer for Street Kids International’s programming across Zambia. As a lead trainer, he trains about 90 people, and 20 future trainers per year, in the neighborhood of 400 kids.
Further to participating in the African launch of the Street Business Toolkit, Chipo has begun his own business running camps for street kids that using many of Street Kids International’s methodologies and techniques.
