Agriculture Fields
Small-scale agriculture will help the training center promote self-reliance in the production of vegetables and other crops that can be supplied to the kitchen for student meals. This will also be an opportunity for any students who are interested in taking up a part-time job while on campus to grow and maintain vegetable and crop gardens. The Agriculture Zone has been proposed to be strategically located close to the existing water dam so that the learning center can easily access the available water source throughout the year for irrigation purposes.

Introduction
The Life Impact Training Centre (LITC) is a beacon of hope and opportunity in our community. Designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive, the Centre operates on Christian principles where the focus is on skills development and spiritual growth. The intent is to have the opportunity for Christian fellowship while studying, although you don’t have to be Christian to attend (just like you would in school). Our goal is to create a supportive environment where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed.
LITC is in a very remote area, where the closest training centre is approximately a six-hour drive. We focus on bringing employable skills and spiritual growth to the district of Itezhi-tezhi, which has a population of about 60 000 people. In this area, most people are subsistence farmers, or fishers, and a few engaged in the Kafue National Park, or in small businesses in Itezhi-tezhi.
The five objectives of the Life Impact Training Centre are:
- To empower the community by providing effective spiritual and church Leadership programs.
- To advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ by training people in Christian Life and ministry.
- To complement government efforts through providing vocational and technical skills training through skills development courses, classroom instruction and utilizing available tools for practical learning activities.
- To empower vulnerable adults with survival skills through free knowledge-sharing programs.
- To conduct and participate in evangelistic outreaches and teaching seminars.

We have exciting plans for the future of the Life Impact Training Centre. Upcoming projects include the expansion of our facilities, and the introduction of new training programs. LITC vision: To take hands with community and make a sustainable impact in unemployment and spiritual growth.

Training Programs
Through the use of short-term team members, the Impact Zambia program pairs up the unique skills of the team members, with the needs in the community. The programs are typically one week in length, and provide leadership skills, personal development and practical income-generating skills. We have brought skills in sewing, carpentry, catering, entrepreneurship, bread making, building maintenance, quilting, pastoral and marriage counselling, supervision for social workers, first aid, working with people with disabilities, psychology, painting, personal development workshops.
Once the training centre is operational, the training programs will run in three blocks of three months each: Jan – Mar; May – Jul; and Sep – Nov. The remaining month (April, Aug and Dec) are for informal church leadership and Share Your Knowledge programs. 
Impact on the Community
The Life Impact Training Centre has already made a significant impact. Our trainees have gone on to start their own businesses, secure employment, and contribute to their communities. Success stories abound, from women who have gained financial independence through our sewing program to young people who have found new career paths. These stories are a testament to the effectiveness of our training programs and the dedication of our team.
Partnerships and Collaborations
Our success is built on strong partnerships with local and international organizations. We collaborate with NGOs, government agencies, Rotary International, and private sector partners to enhance our programs and extend our reach. Together, we are creating a network of support that empowers individuals and strengthens communities.
