School Centre La Colombe
“Education is another name for constructive development of man's mind.”
The School Project
WTT Belgium actively participates in an educational project in Congo, in a popular area of Kinshasa: The School Center of “Fondation Colombe” takes care of about three hundred children.
The School Center offers the complete cycle of primary school. It gives remedial teachings to more than hundred poor children:
- preparation for the national test of primary education
- professional training in sewing and electricity
A special objective is the improvement of the living conditions of young mothers; for this it creates workshops for professionalising cutting, sewing and aesthetics.
Moreover, the “Fondation Colombe” will soon work on the establishment of artistic workshops to awaken the child's sense of beauty and creativity.
Group Activities
