MALAKI
DEVELOPMENT
SEWING EDUCATION CENTER AND COOPERATIVE PROJECT
The
people of Congo Brazzaville have been through many years
of difficulty, because of various wars that have ravaged
their country. In order to break free, the International
community must lend a hand, so we can build a bridge of
solidarity together.
This is exactly the reason we dedicate our Association to
the promotion of African cultural roots and the responsible
development of “Malaki Ma Kongo.”
Since 2002 this Association has worked hard to give hope
and trust back to the Congo, through the creation of a microcredit
project for single mothers, victims of the war.

The
work we do responds to the needs of the population of Ponte
Noire, the economic capital of Congo-Brazzaville, particularly
young women, young mothers, victims of the war that has recently
rocked the country.
The
goal of the project is to contribute to the
sewing education of these young women of the school – an
education that, even outside the school, can create both
independence for these women who need it as well as internal
development
for the Congo and for the Malaki Development Center for
the production and commercialization of clothes and accessories
(purses, scarves, etc), “Made in Congo.” The
revenue of these products goes to sustaining the Malaki
Development Education and Cooperative Center.
This
project will contribute towards the consolidation of the Malaki
Development Education and Cooperative Center, which creates
employment for 25 women that will be part of both the sewing
education
itself,
and the
actual production of the garments.
The
project foresees various phases:
-
the
logistical organization with a local center of employment,
the purchase of construction
material and the refurbishing of various building structures,
-
the
purchase and quality control of materials and equipment,
-
the
educational
structure and production,
-
the organization
and management of human resources for the commercialization,
-
and
finally the support for
business management and commercialization of
the clothes through the Free Trade market.
