Epaphras Phiri is a youth advocate and social innovator passionate about ensuring that young Zambians have a genuine seat at the table of national development.
Hear Zambia Out exists to transform the landscape of national decision-making by ensuring the perspectives of young Zambians are not just heard, but are instrumental in shaping our collective future. We are dedicated to cultivating a generation that is not only informed and confident but also empowered to directly influence the policies that define their lives—from the classrooms and workplaces of today to the technological and governance systems of tomorrow. Through a dynamic fusion of digital engagement and grassroots outreach, we forge connections among young creators, advocates, and innovators. Our core mission is to channel this collective energy into co-designing tangible, impactful solutions for Zambia's most pressing challenges in education, employment, mental health, and social development.
Our work anchors youth participation in Zambia's future within its most dynamic crucible of thought and innovation:the university system. We strategically partner with and mobilize students across higher education institutions, establishing campuses as living laboratories for civic leadership and policy innovation. Through this university-focused approach, we empower the next generation of Zambian leaders with platforms to hone their voice and translate academic insight into tangible solutions for national challenges in education, employment, technology, and mental health.
