Education: Accessibility of schools and harsh economic conditions are major contributors to high illiteracy in rural Africa. By building and staffing a school accessible to children in the villages of Katebi, we are helping children develop language, mathematics and science skills which will improve their quality of life in the long term.

Agriculture: De-forestation and run-off from mining operations make agriculture challenging in rural Africa. Pamoja’s vision is to build co-operative farms that will be staffed and maintained at the local level. Pamoja has provided resources which have enabled local community members to plant seeds and harvest peanuts, sunflowers, soya and vegetables.

Social Enterprise: Pamoja will purchase a commercial-grade oil press. Using the land given to Pamoja, women grow peanuts and sunflowers which can be used to make cooking oil for local use with a surplus which can be sold in the nearby city of Kolwezi. This will bring much-needed funds into the village economy and promote self-sufficiency.
