Area councillor Mr Patrick Salubusa confirmed the visit to the ward by Zambia Breweries company officials.
Mr Salubusa together with Kapwepwe Ward interim Development Committee (WDC) welcomed the Zambian Breweries (ZB) members of staff led by corporate affairs director Ezekiel Sekele when they visited Komboni Innovation Centre (KIC).
The centre is being constructed as a skills and talent center for youths and women.
He said on Saturday, that KIC had been set up in Desai compound because out of the six compounds in the ward, Desai had a high prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse.
Mr Salubusa thanked ZB for pumping in K 115, 000 in the construction of the centre and assured the company that the centre would train youths and women in carpentry, computers, business communication and tailoring.
The civic leader, said other activities would include food production, bricklaying, metal fabrication, music and filmmaking as a way of empowering youths and women to ensure they stay away from illicit activities.
