Hope for all Project
H2o-Congo believes in the importance of the youth because they are the leaders of tomorrow. With a large percentage of the children of Kinshasa on the streets it is difficult to predict a bright future for the country without a change. Therefore an expansion of the land capacity does not only refer to the land itself, but also an increase in people living there as well as provision of free education. Through the help of sponsorship H2o-Congo wish to provide education to some of the most vulnerable people of Kinshasa in order to secure a bright future for the Democratic Republic of Congo as a whole. A large number of the young mothers who lives on the streets of Kinshasa have missed both primary and secondary education, therefore as this project is fully implemented this will be provided to them. The power of arts is of high significance to the organization implementing this project therefore through various workshops and training there will be a focus on arts. Knowledge can be spread through this tool as well as it can also help connect different people together. Local artists will provide singing, dancing, sewing, poetry, acting and public speaking workshops. In return the young mothers will provide workshops to the local community and international actors about topics such as but not limited to malnutrition and its effect on the population, especially the ones living on streets of Kinshasa. |
H2o-Congo has purchased a land of 3 acres in order to house 8 young mothers and their children selected to begin this project. We wish to build 2 more similiar houses, a school and health center. The young mothers will learn how to cultivate the land by several farmers that H2o-Congo is working with. Throughout their time at the land they will grow crops and then sell it at several market sites in Kinshasa. A certain percentage of the income will go towards the salaries of the young mothers and the rest will go towards expanding the land capacity. H2o-Congo will provide the women with housing, food, clothing, workshops and training.
