Located 330 km from Kinshasa, the town of Matadi will benefit from the "Kuenda Classe" project, as well as the "Nzo ya mayele" project, otherwise known as "the house of knowledge". This project consists of the construction of a library for all Matadians.
The city of Matadi currently has no library, the "Nzo ya mayele" project aims to fill this gap. The project was launched in August 2019, as a continuation of our initiatives with the city.
The library is therefore the next step to be taken to further improve the structures related to access to knowledge and education.
The two-storey, 20×20m library will offer several spaces:
Youth area: this area will be made up of school and non-school books (novels, comics, etc.) and fun activities will be offered (board games, role playing).
Scientific and cultural documentation area: this area will contain a variety of literature (novels, comics and specialised works).
Study area & homework help: A room will be set aside so that children can study and benefit from personalised support from qualified volunteers.
Computer room: Fifteen desktop computers are made available. The aim is to familiarise the children with basic computer tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Artistic space: Setting up photography and painting workshops, traditional dances, traditional stories (based on Mbongi). Introduction to folk music and traditional local instruments (nsambi, ngoma...) and instruments used in the rest of the world.
