Re-Writing the Future - Save the Children

We can actually Re-write the future if we do work together for the better of the DR Congo

FIRST PROJECT (Re-write the future)

The Democratic Republic of Congo:

The Democratic Republic of Congo is a very rich country in natural resources but yet it is one of the poorest countries in the world. How can that be possible?

This country has been to war nearly for a decade and it's economy has been in decline for two decades, seriously what is going on with the government?

When it comes to education; the Democratic Republic of Congo is below minimum imagine that, A greater portion of young children is not in primary school compared to fifteen years ago; many of those who do attend primary school do so irregularly; and even those who manage to reach the terminal year of primary, very few can read with comprehension or write simple sentences of textual matter. Quality is slow at every level of education with the content and standard of secondary and higher education not having been reformed for over two decades. Neither government finance nor external support - official or unofficial have been important source of finance, although they have been significant in certain critical interventions. Unique among African countries parents in the DRC finance almost all of education expenditures at all levels of instruction, from primary to higher education and more surprisingly in all types of institutions.

Now how can a country so rich not able to afford education? what is the government doing about it? Why can't the government use it's resources to make the country better. Seriously other countries are doing it. This country needs people who can stand up for their rights and who can stand up for what is right. We need educated, humble, open minded and transparent people to Run this country for the better.

We really need your help in helping out communities and building schools in order for educating the next generation that will RE-WRITE THE FUTURE. It's not all about music, dressing in designer clothes and showing off, it should be about lending a hand to your friend in need.

The education system in the RDC will play an important role in building the country's institutions, in promoting economic growth an din redressing inequalities.

Stay tuned for more updates on the first project.............

Education for Afrika

On the scale of 1 to 10 where do you rank education in Africa?
There is a saying that says “the children are our future” but then let me ask you a question? If the children are not educated how is our future going to be?
African children are the future of the continent it is said and I do believe. Their education is the key to future economic growth and lasting democracy, leading to greater stability and improved standards of living. The current state of education in Africa, however, is plagued by a lack of funds, teachers, textbooks, and transparency.
Africa has the lowest school enrollment rate in the world. The majority of children never reaches fifth grades or never stepped in a classroom. While school enrolment has expanded dramatically over the past 40 years in most of the developing world, this has not been the case in many African countries. Only half of their children are going to primary school, adult literacy rates are below 40 per cent, and over 50 per cent of women are illiterate.
Primary school enrollments and literacy rates in Africa are among the lowest in the world. 42 million school children in sub-Saharan Africa alone are not enrolled in school; now imagine the rest of Africa. Many children cannot afford to go or stay in primary school. Let’s not forget that is only primary school, what about secondary school and university?
Most of our children spend most of their time playing on the streets and trying to hustle money, do you know why? Because our systems are corrupted, economy crisis and education is expensive, most of the parents can not afford to send their children to school. Now we all know that Knowledge has become a key driver of growth and development. Countries with higher skill levels are better equipped to face new challenges and master technological discoveries, while Africa has always had a problem with new challenges because we are not skilled or equipped for new challenges.

OBJECTIVE:

Now our objective is to get in touch with communities that are in need and work closely with them to raise money, to build schools and also provide school materials; for instance, textbooks, pens, and desks, etc. And also help the communities to stay active by creating workshops and activities that can help them. President Abdou Diouf of Senegal once said “Only through education will the continent and its sons and daughters be able to meet the demands and challenges of the 21st century”.
