**Mobilization of funds of 3000 USD to fight against floods at the Indu market in Masina, Kinshasa**
In a context marked by recent episodes of flooding at the Indu market, located in the commune of Masina in Kinshasa, an unprecedented initiative has emerged. Indeed, a collective approach was launched to mobilize an emergency fund of 3000 USD, intended to fight against the risks of flooding in this strategic economic location of the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
At the origin of this approach, the administrator of the Indu market, Élysée Mwadi, took the initiative to call on local stakeholders, in particular the heads of pavilions, to set up this financial mobilization. This collective awareness aims to raise awareness among all traders of the Indu market on the crucial issues of flood prevention and the dangers caused by these recurring natural phenomena.
Indeed, the consequences of the floods at the Indu market are multiple and affect traders, local residents and the entire working population of the commune of Masina. The anarchic constructions, in addition to making part of the market inaccessible, contribute significantly to the worsening of the situation. The overflow of vendors along Siforco Avenue also causes logistical and traffic problems, disrupting the daily lives of residents and users of this important road artery.
Furthermore, Élysée Mwadi also drew attention to the issue of the dispossession of part of the land of the Indu market by third parties, thus calling for the intervention of the competent authorities to guarantee the security and sustainability of this emblematic place of the local economy.
The Indu market, a historical heritage of the city of Kinshasa, is located at a strategic crossroads, near the Transco bus depot, thus constituting an essential hub of economic activity for the entire region.
In short, the mobilization of this fund of 3000 USD is a first step towards collective awareness and concrete action to prevent and combat flooding at the Indu market. This community commitment, supported by all local stakeholders, demonstrates the will to face environmental and urban challenges, with a view to preserving heritage and ensuring the safety of all.
This initiative, carried out with determination and solidarity, embodies the hope of a better future for the Indu market and the entire commune of Masina, built on values of collective responsibility and civic engagement.
