Chisenga Muyoya becomes first Zambian to win JCI Award

CHISENGA Muyoya has become the first Zambian to receive the JCI Outstanding Young Person of the Year award.
Chisenga, who studies MSc Practising Sustainable Development at Royal Holloway, University of London, was invited to Japan alongside nine other individuals to collect her award.
JCI is a nonprofit organisation for young, active citizens aged 18 to 40, who are engaged and commited to creating impact in their communities.
The award, which has been handed out every year since 1983, is given to those who exemplify the spirit of the JCI mission, providing exemplary service to their communities and serving as honorable young active citizens.
Chisenga was chosen because she felt compelled to use her background in computing and information system management, to take a stand for women in technology by founding Asikana Network; a youth led social enterprise that seeks to increase the participation of young women in technology.
