My name is Makila Nsika, I live in London and I was born in Congo.
There, my dad is working hard to offer a good education as well as a good environment for vulnerable or destitute children. I have joined his cause and I am personally sponsoring 2 of the girls supported by his organisation. But I can't stop worrying about their future : formal education is not enough in a country where 49% of the young adults are unemployed... Strange when most of the company are complaining that they can't find qualified staff... There is a gap and I know we can easily fill it:
We only need to build a bridge between the children and the recruiting companies. I met several companies in April and September 2015. Most are keen to create workshops and even training alongside the students formal education. I met with the Chamber of Commerce and they are keen to partner and develop professional certification with the school and the companies involved.
But the school has no means of transport. All I need to launch the project is a school bus to take the students from the school to the companies.
Please help Jodèle, Rachida, Eunice, Danièle, Mareka, Doris, Jeny, and many others after them to start building a real future.
