Democratic Republic of the Congo
Economic Empowerment & Education
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has long struggled with conflict and violence against women. In 2014, The Young Women Leaders Program launched in South Kivu and is driving transformational change in communities. Young women, instead of being denied free will and opportunity, are now being encouraged by their families to pursue education and become economically independent.
In North Kivu, our program supports young women to become entrepreneurs and develop micro-businesses. As these businesses become profitable, the young women owners have decided to pay it forward. They invest some of their earnings in monthly literacy and peacebuilding courses that they conduct in nearby rural communities to help other young women advance.
Young Women Leaders also continue to conduct literacy and numeracy skills training in Eastern DRC and the Great Lakes Region. Young women who complete the program are taking their skills into rural communities to enhance literacy, teach peacebuilding and promote UNSCR 1325 and 2250.
