Kinshasa, October 25, 2024 – An ambitious initiative is emerging in N’sele, a commune in eastern Kinshasa, with the “Yekola” educational program created with the aim of guiding and educating young people in the region. Julie Pinga Pinga, founder of the non-profit organization “Julie Pinga”, is behind this approach, which aims to raise awareness and raise awareness among young people about the importance of learning.
In a context where the preference for social networks encroaches on the time and interest devoted to education and training, “Yekola” aims to be a catalyst for change. Julie Pinga Pinga emphasizes that the main objective is to promote intellectual and moral aspects, with an emphasis on fulfilling intellectual and scientific growth for young people.
The involvement of all stakeholders is crucial to the success of this program. Parents, educators, students and pupils are invited to actively participate in this educational approach. The founder of the non-profit organization hopes to extend this program beyond the commune of N’sele, thus covering the entire Tshangu communal grouping for a broader and more significant impact.
In addition, “Yekola” is part of a broader fight against bullying. A conference is planned to inform and raise awareness about the harmful consequences of this phenomenon. Entitled “School bullying: issues and consequences on psychosocial values and academic success”, this conference will be held on October 26 in N’sele. The objective is to foster a team spirit and responsibility among education professionals and parents, in order to protect young people and ensure a healthy school environment conducive to the development of each individual.
In short, “Yekola” represents a glimmer of hope in the educational landscape of Kinshasa, offering young people a valuable opportunity for learning, reflection and personal growth. This initiative demonstrates the commitment and determination of Julie Pinga Pinga and her team to create a positive and lasting impact in the lives of younger generations.
