for Life in Congo. - in Africa: on the cultural level, with the continuation of
the yearly Malaki ma Kongo Festival Production and of the activities
that Malaki already created:

Malaki School Festival
African Roots Library
Renewed Box of Pharaohs
On the development level, with our Responsible Development Projects based
on microcredit and ethical finance
Malaki ma Kongo operates in the field of Culture at the service
of Development
We believe indeed that art is the cultural heritage of a people.
The destruction of our villages caused by war in Congo means
the destruction of our inland basis of inspiration.
Being culture at the basis of development, Malaki
ma Kongo's artists and men of culture founded the following project:
raising
microcredit in Congo to redonate hope and confidence in life
to women,
mothers of families that are victims of the horrors of war,
therefore giving rebirth to life in our villages.
We
raise funds
through our activities, people's
donations, public administrations
contributions.
Everybody can contribute to Malaki ma Kongo
cause
The
African cultural roots that artists present are, in general,
the cultural heritage of a people. MALAKI MA KONGO
is in charge
of finding the economical means to ensure the survival
of ancestral life in a natural place (African villages).
During this decade all MALAKI's projects are to follow the
orientation fixed by our 10 years of programs for Africa's
development.
OBJECTIVES:
- Spreading the Culture of service for Responsible Development
for Congo and sub-saharian Africa

African Ancestors' wisdom, through cultural and sport days, songs,
