About Us
Who We Are
Copper Rose Zambia (CRZ) is a dynamic, youth-led, and youth-focused non-governmental organisation committed to holistic youth development. Founded in 2015 by visionary young women Faith Kaoma Kabeleka and Natasha Salifyanji Kaoma with just $300 raised through grassroot efforts, CRZ has evolved into a powerful catalyst for positive change.
The name “Copper Rose” symbolises the empowerment of Africa’s most valuable asset: its YOUTH. While Africa is renowned for its rich mineral resources, CRZ believes that the greatest wealth lies in unlocking and nurturing the potential of its young generation. By investing in youth development, we can drive unprecedented progress and shape a brighter and better future.
At CRZ, we are dedicated to equipping young people with the tools they need to lead and transform their communities. Our diverse, passionate team shares a commitment to making a lasting impact, working together to place Africa’s youth at the forefront of development.
Join us in our mission to create a world where every young person can thrive and reach their full potential.

About Us
Our Founders
Our roots trace back to 2015, when two driven young women, Faith Kaoma Kabeleka and Natasha Salifyanji Kaoma, recognized a gap in resources and support for Zambia’s youth. With only $300 raised from local supporters, Faith and Natasha launched CRZ, determined to create a safe, empowering space for young people to discover their strengths and lead their communities.
Their journey was fueled by a deep commitment to social change and the resilience to overcome countless obstacles. Inspired by the potential they saw in their peers, they built CRZ on the principles of grassroots collaboration and youth empowerment. Today, CRZ is not only a testament to their vision but also to the power of young people working together to transform lives and communities.
