Brief About Twikatane e.V(Charity)
Twikatane e.V was founded in 2017 in the city of Schazenbek in Germany for one good purpose: to serve the ailing people with various problems in Germany, and to uplift many in Zambia and Africa at large.
''Twikatane'' is a Zambian Bemba language which means ''Zusammengehörigkeit'' in German and ''togetherness'' in English language.
The Taikatane founder during his life, as a child, youth, and adult, both in Zambia and in Germany, had gone through a lot of life-challenging phases which shaped him to now become a successful Social Entrepreneur, CEO, and Investor at an international level. Hence, he thought of founding this Charity in order to use his life experiences to help others, especially, in Zambia and Africa.
The deepest effects and impact of Twikatane today are being felt in Zambia, Kenya, and Congo DR where we just successfully offered a one year diploma course in Agribusiness & Entrepreneurship-AE to over 5000 needy/vulnerable 80% youths and 20% adults. Twikatane has seen the birth of the most important department called the African Soils Against Poverty-ASAP, whose purpose is to alleviate poverty in Zambia and Africa at large through sustainable agriculture in partnership with Germany and other advanced countries. Other than AE/ASAP, there are more programs that are tailored to uplifting the less privileged lives in Zambia and Africa. Zambia and Africa is gifted with massive land that is unused. Therefore, Twikatane e.V realised that through ASAP many youths can be trained to farm and earn a good income locally and avoid migrating to Europe for "greener pastures" or a good life.
To achieve the desired goals, Twikatane e.V works in partnership with Diversity Learning Institute-DLI which was founded in Germany in 2012 and has too been offering social programs including German language to migrants and also to youths in Zambia and Africa.
Educational Exchange Program(EEP)
For 14 years now, DLI and later with Twikatane e.V has been offering the EEP programs for the youths in Germany in exchange with Zambia, Ukraine, Ghana and other countries. These exchanges are done via live-online. With the help of our seasoned facilitators Mr. Evans Lukomona founder and the DLI/Twikatane Chief Advisor Mr. Kelber-Britz , the EEP project grew from strength to strength with many more schools and countries participating.
AU PAIR Social Exchange Program : Under EEP, we also bring young Zambians to Germany to work as AU PAIRS. Then later after 1 year they are placed into colleges and universities. They find it easier to integrate in the German system because of the EEP and the German language we teach them while in Zambia-Africa.
Work Business Exchange Program(WOBEP)
In WOBEP we cooperate with the Zambian and other African based governments to train German language and German integration courses to prepare the professionals to find jobs in Germany and other German speaking countries.
Currently, we are in talks with the Zambian government to have the trained health-workers such as nurses, medical doctors, care-givers, etc, to work in Germany.
Not only to get jobs in Germany, but also to facilitate investments from Germany to Zambia and Africa, for a better Africa.
Mass Youth Education In Zambia
DLI/Twikatane e.V/CDT Group Germany has a contract with the Zambian government which allows us to deliver help courses and projects in all the corners f Zambia. Since signing this contract/MOU, our organisation has uplifted a lot of Zambians, especially the youth.

Agribusiness & Entrepreneurship-AE
Under African Soils Against Poverty(ASAP)
Regarded by us as the Project of The Century, the ASAP project, which teaches Agribusiness & Entrepreneurship(AE) course, is designed to make total use of the vast soils of Zambia and Africa for agricultural food production and eventually put a balanced diet meal on a table of every household. Also, income generation.

Also, income generation.
Following are the ASAP/AE sustainable phases that fulfill the United Nations(UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
- Phase 1: Counselling and Winning Mindset(CWM) training: a 4-week course given, especially the needy/vulnerable, students before they enter their mainstream of the ASAP/AE and other courses, as a way to remove all the ''poison'' from their minds due to the years of being idle at home and on streets without any proper occupation. The CWM's ultimate goal is to prepare their minds to face a new successful life through our programs and projects.
- Phase 2: Agribusiness, Entrepreneurship and Winning Mindset(AEWM) is taught.
- Phase 3: Grouping the students in various specialised cooperatives.
- Phase 4: Placing the students on the regional/provincial established farming blocks to gain practical experiences.
- Phase 6: Graduation, partnering the student-cooperatives with Twikatane e.V(Charity) and Diversity Learning Institute(DLI)'s International Business Trade department, and placing them on the Twikatane e.V/DLI farming blocks across Zambia and own their farm-portions and become entrepreneurs with the main objective to feed the local communities, the province, the nation, and export the excess to other parts of Africa, to Germany and advanced nations.
Twikatane Shop Outlets(TSOs): We create fixed and mobile shops to sell their product throughout the region and the country. Through the TSOs, excess products are exported to Germany and the Western nations.
ASAP Twikatane e.V-Germany & Local Cooperatives
Twikatane e.V/DLI has Germany/Europe based firms and investors that partner with our cooperatives in Zambia/Africa on agricultural business development to farm and produce at commercial levels.
Together with the Germany/European based cooperators we bring farming/agricultural equipment, inputs, and resources and work with our cooperatives on a win-win bases, which sees the Zambians take a stake of at least 30-50% equity.
To easily fulfill our main objectives in Zambia/Africa, we cooperate with the concerned government ministries. Such as education, agriculture, lands, community development, and labour.
''Hightlight!.....''We successfully ran the inaugural ASAP/AE program and taught over 5000 learners in Zambia, Kenya and Congo DR.''

2. Good Copper and Bad Copper
Concept:
This piece examines the paradox of Zambia’s copper industry—a resource that once fueled national prosperity but now represents unfulfilled potential and economic disparity. The performance explores the duality of copper as a blessing and a curse, blending narrative, visuals, and movement to provoke critical thought about resource management, governance, and equitable development.
Summary:
“Good Copper and Bad Copper” is a dramatic exploration of Zambia's dependence on copper exports. From 1964 to 1979, copper brought development and opportunity to the Zambian youth communities. However, post-1980, mismanagement/corruption, global market forces, and external influences led to diminished benefits, increasing poverty, and widening inequality. The performance critiques this decline and asks urgent questions: How can Zambia reclaim its wealth and ensure the future prosperity of its people? This dynamic piece weaves stories of hope, disillusionment, and the enduring fight for equity. Three Quarters of the copper income funds are externalized with benefiting the youth of today.
These performances aim to educate, engage, and inspire audiences while shedding light on Zambia's rich history and ongoing challenges.
