wells provide drinking water to 35’000 people per year
girls are currently receiving free high quality education
people have access to education and sport in the community center
This very dynamic foundation is active in Kalebuka (Lubumbashi, Upper Katanga) in the south-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a fairly stable region, close to Zambia.
Malaika’s remarkable and modern program encompasses a global ecosystem, comprising several axes
- Construction of wells supplying water to a basin of 35’000 people
- Community center (literacy, hygienic-health, sports, etc.)
- Technical courses (mechanical, electricity)
- Healthy nutrition (organic agricultural program)
- And finally, a school for 430 girls.
This last point corresponds to the goals of the Hermann Foundation, especially since this school has a comprehensive approach to the education and training of girls. It also provides room and board, promoting hygiene, nutrition (healthy and complete food, organic) and all the aspects necessary for a healthy and productive life, responsible and respectful of the environment.
This overall concept is exemplary.
