Youth Day is a public holiday in Zambia, observed on March 12 each year. The holiday honors the contributions of the youth to the country. Zambia gained independence from the British and formed the Republic of Zambia in 1964. Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, and the capital is Lusaka.
Zambia has a large youth population, but many live in poverty and are threatened by the spread of HIV. Youth Day is also a holiday to emphasize the youth and the country's future leaders and help them overcome the economic and social obstacles.
Youth events like sports and marches will be organized nationwide during the holiday.
