We Walk Challenge

EDUCATION MATTERS

Help us to sustainably improve access to secondary education for vunerable children in Boma in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Our project is to create an income generating activity by the construction of a production unit with an outdoor oven to bake bread. A group of mothers who are motivated to raise funds to enable their children to go to school will sell the bread baked on site. Funds raised will be used to pay for their children’s school fees and suppliesThe project is to create an income generating activity by the construction of a production unit with an outdoor oven to bake bread.

Our Goals

By investing in this project we want to:

Reduce the rates of children dropping out from school mainly due to lack of funds and improve the future prospects of the next generation.  Through their education children will be given the skills and knowledge they need to increase their ability to earn an income and build a better future.

The mothers are the change makers.  The mothers  know that a better education brings better employment opportunities for their children and so we want to shift the power back to mothers. They have rallied together around this project and we want to invest in their efforts to help all their children and especially their daughters to stay in  school. Their participation in the sale of the bread made at the charity owned oven and their participation in the organisation allows them to earn and have power to take action.

The donations from our We Walkers have already helped improve the condition of the primary school in Kingo Mbungu in DRC for the 371 children who recieve an education there and provided them with school supplies.

Go We Walkers! Thank you for your support.
