The Kazembe Foundation was created by Kazembe to help contribute to the growth of other young individuals within the community, by providing opportunities that will push them to have a bigger positive influence in the world.
In 2006, Kazembe also founded the Global Institute for Freedom, Transformation, and Enlightenment (GIFTE). Currently, GIFTE is focused on personal and corporate transformation education. GIFTE offers informational workshops and seminars that allow people to expand their personal strengths to lead them towards their goals.
Also, a division of the Kazembe Foundation is “The Mentor’s Circle”; a mentoring program focused on helping individuals identify their goals, provide effective strategies, and develop their career.
