Kinsevere, Democratic Republic of Congo
Our School in Kinsevere serves as a beacon of hope, reflecting our long-term commitment to reducing illiteracy rates in the Congo. By enhancing access to education and literacy programs, we collaborate with various stakeholders to cultivate a more educated and skilled workforce, thus contributing to the country's overall development.
In Congo, obtaining reliable estimates on literacy rates proves challenging. According to data from UIS (2016), the literacy rate among individuals aged 15 and older stands at approximately 77.04%. However, this figure highlights a significant gender disparity, with a literacy rate of 88.5% for men compared to 66.5% for women. Through our grassroots efforts, we have observed a decline in literacy rates in rural areas, underscoring the pressing need for targeted support and intervention.
Expanding our reach beyond urban centers, we recognize the urgent need to address literacy challenges in remote communities. By leveraging community partnerships and innovative educational approaches, we aim to bridge the literacy gap and empower individuals across all regions of the Congo. Through collective action and sustained investment in education, we aspire to unlock the full potential of every Congolese citizen, paving the way for a brighter and more prosperous future.
