At this time, four representatives of the congolese team are in Italy to work with the italian project partners, to meet all the student of the 10 italian schools involved in Kubunina Program and to create a few event in order to diffuse to the public the project results.
Furthermore we are making several working session about income generating activities:
school gardens, apiculture.
The seven Kubunina School gardens (four in Kalemie and three in Kasongo) are in this moment in full production, in particular the parents are collecting tomatoes, cabbages, eggplants, which are well sold in the local market.
The sale of the products of the school gardens, at this time is supporting the school fees of about 230 children in the Kalemie area and 140 children in of Kasongo area.
We are planning strategies in order to improve the number of the supported student because the needs are very strong : a big part of the families have an daily income of around 0,5 USD.
The plants produced from seedbeds have been distributed to the students' families and many small gardens have been created in the villages.
This activity of Kubunina is very important as it allows you to achieve two goals: motivating the parents’ involvement and the creation of family vegetable garden, tool support for families.
