LIPS school project started in the 2005 with the financial support of the Italian cooperation in Congo DRC. An area of 5 Ha was bought at the rural zone of PASA near Kinshasa.There was no school, no health center in the area.We already built some classes with the rest of fund received from the Italian cooperation; but there is still a need to build more classes. The elementary school students are studying in morning and junior highschool in afternoon,but we would like to have them study from morning to afternoon if we have more classes.
A part from the school, we are growing crops,vegetables in the commnity farm which is in the same area and this year a mobile clinic project will start in order to offer primary healthcare to villagers.In the future, we plan to build a health center there. Improving the literacy rate, the community heath status and families income is the main purpose of this project that we call the "Congo-Heiwa Mura Project" or Peace Village Project. If well implemented,this Heiwa Mura Project will be a model of development initiative to be established in many other rural areas of the country.
