The largest part is devoted to the high number of endangered and vulnerable children in Zambia and various prevention programs supported by the Czech Development Agency. To put together and create the empirical part of the thesis- I used qualitative research strategy, using methods of questioning, observation techniques, through semi-structured interviews with students-interns of the faculty and secondary data analysis. Data were analyzed by creating clusters. The sample consisted of nineteen interns, who provided information on the preparation and implementation of an internship leisure activities for children in Zambia. The research results show that interns who are about to go to Zambia mutually cooperate with previous interns. The research found that the most common risk factors endangering children and young people in Zambia are financial problems, poverty, orphanhood, low availability of leisure activities for children as well as education, social and health system in Zambia. Prevention of risky behavior is very important during realization of leisure activities by all interns in Zambia and by all interns who consider the existence of a leisure center as an important part of prevention. All interviewed interns said they had enough opportunities for creating a new leisure activities or to maintain existing activities and their restoration. According to the interns is the realization of leisure activities successful and well organized.
