Chinese enterprises assist young people in the Democratic Republic of Congo to light up a bright future with professional skills

2023-07-25

In Kabada Village, Lualaba Province Province, in the southeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there is an industrial technical school with complete facilities and first-class school running conditions. Since the official teaching in August last year, local young people no longer need to travel mountains and rivers as before, and can receive high-quality vocational skills education near their homes. The construction of Kabada Community Industrial Technology School was started in October 2021, and was undertaken by Huagang Mining Co., Ltd., which was jointly established by Chinese enterprises such as China Railway Group Limited, Power Construction Corporation of China and Congo Kinshasa Mining Corporation. The school currently has 206 students, with two majors: electric power and automobile repair, and has become an important training base for technical and skilled talents in the local area. Thank you to my Chinese friends for building such a great school here, which allows us to study under good conditions, "said Ngoyxing, a student who has completed his first year of study at this school. At the first academic year graduation ceremony held on July 1st, the principal of the school, Edmund, sincerely exclaimed, "I have been in the education industry for many years and I am grateful to Huagang Mining for creating such a good industrial and technical school for us." In addition to building the school and donating teaching materials, Huagang Mining also regularly conducts learning and exchange activities with technical schools, sharing technical skills and knowledge, providing practical opportunities for school students, and transforming theoretical knowledge into practical experience, Help students lay a solid foundation on their future career paths. On the day of the graduation ceremony, the school organized teachers and students to come to the work site of Huagang Mining's 220 kV substation and auto repair plant. Experienced technical personnel from Huagang Mining provided theoretical and practical lectures, and the students took a unique practical lesson under the guidance of Chinese masters. For many years, there has been no professional and technical school in Kabada Village, and the young people in the village can only go to Kolwezi City or more than ten kilometers away if they want to learn crafts. The distant journey and high tuition fees have deterred many people, starting to work odd jobs early to subsidize their families. In the past, many students stopped studying after graduating from junior high school and chose to work. However, due to their lack of expertise, they encountered obstacles everywhere and could only engage in low-end jobs with low salaries and no technical content. It is our hope to have a school where we can learn vocational skills without traveling far away. "Ngoixing spoke out the thoughts of many young people in the local area. In the eyes of locals, mastering a professional skill is undoubtedly a stepping stone to finding a good job and an important step towards a stable life. In Kabada Village, not only schools are built, but Huagang Mining has built Basketball court, football fields, Farmers'market, village roads, water supply systems and other facilities for local residents, donated and installed 500 kilovolt ampere box type substation and is responsible for daily maintenance. At the same time, it has also sent agricultural machinery and equipment such as tractors, seed planters and corn seeds. Kabata Village Chief Dikubi said that as long as there is a need in the local area, Chinese enterprises will always strive to actively respond and sincerely thank them for their help.
