LUSAKA, May 8 (Xinhua) For many young people in Zambia s low-income communities, the environment they live in provides enough chances for them to engage in a range of undesirable behavior.
This is particularly true for those in slums located in the country s urban areas. Many of these places are unplanned settlements, which aside from being densely populated have little to non-functional recreational facilities except bars and nightclubs.
It is for this reason that Kingston Matama, 25, a handball player based in Zambia s capital Lusaka decided to establish a handball club that sought to encourage young people to participate in sports and stay away from trouble.
