New perspectives for the integration of homeless youth in Kinshasa


**Fatshimetrie: A renewed perspective on the phenomenon of homeless youth in Kinshasa**

The problem of homeless youth is a major issue in Congolese society, particularly in Kinshasa. Faced with this scourge, voices are being raised to propose innovative and sustainable solutions to eradicate this worrying phenomenon.

Learning and mastering a trade appear to be essential levers to offer future prospects to young people in precarious situations. Indeed, vocational training in fields such as carpentry or masonry can not only allow young people to integrate into the world of work, but also to regain their dignity and their place in society.

It is essential to emphasize that arrests alone cannot solve the problem of homeless youth. A comprehensive approach, including the supervision of youth through legislative and social measures, is essential. The establishment of a law protecting single mothers and imposing parental responsibility is a first step towards collective care for young people in difficulty.

At the same time, the promotion of local culture and arts can offer opportunities for personal and social development to young Congolese people. The creation of a municipal center dedicated to arts and culture, promoting the learning of traditional arts and creative crafts, could help to enhance the country’s cultural identity while offering professional opportunities to young talents.

Furthermore, strengthening the local economy by promoting traditional recipes and culinary competitions can stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship among young people. By encouraging creativity and promoting Congolese gastronomic heritage, it is possible to generate enthusiasm for the professions of cooking and gastronomy, while promoting the emergence of small local businesses.

Finally, the responsibility of society as a whole is engaged in the fight against the phenomenon of young people without a roof over their heads. Parents, local authorities and the State must work together to provide a better future for future generations. It is essential to rethink the concept of family and community solidarity to ensure the protection and development of every Congolese child.

In conclusion, eradicating the phenomenon of homeless youth in Kinshasa requires a holistic approach, combining education, training, culture and solidarity. By involving the whole of society in a collective effort, it is possible to transform current challenges into opportunities for development and fulfillment for Congolese youth.
