Fatshimetrie recently reported a remarkable news story in the Democratic Republic of Congo, more precisely in the Kasai-Oriental province. The governor of the province, Jean-Paul Mbuebua Kapo, presided over the inauguration of the workshops of the diocese of Mbuji-Mayi last Thursday, marking a major event for the local community.
These new workshops include a technical control center and a modern carpentry workshop, built thanks to a partnership between the Holy See and the Congolese government. Father Evariste Citeya Jibikila, general administrator of these facilities, stressed the importance of this agreement which aims to provide the Catholic Church with the necessary means to contribute to the well-being of the population.
The bishop of the diocese of Mbuji-Mayi, Emmanuel Bernard Kasanda, welcomed the financial support of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo in setting up these workshops. He highlighted the positive impact of this project on improving the living conditions of young people, their vocational training and road safety thanks to modern equipment.
Indeed, these workshops will offer new opportunities to the inhabitants of the region, by allowing them to access skilled trades and reducing the risks of accidents linked to defective equipment. Governor Mbuebua Kapo stressed the importance of these facilities for autonomy and local development, allowing the people of East Kasai to benefit from quality furniture for their homes and offices.
This inauguration therefore marks a significant step forward in the field of vocational training and road safety in the province of Kasai-Oriental. It demonstrates the commitment of the authorities and the Church to invest in the well-being and future of citizens, by offering opportunities for economic and social development in the region.
In conclusion, the inauguration of the workshops of the diocese of Mbuji-Mayi is a concrete example of a fruitful partnership between civil and religious institutions to improve the lives of local communities. This event paves the way for new collaborations and initiatives aimed at strengthening autonomy and progress in the Kasaï-Oriental province.
