Our Misson And History
Canisa project has a mission of helping children and women who were victims of political instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the Kivu and Katanga Region. We are solving mental issues and supporting education by creating work for the unemployed parents who have children that are not going school. In the other hand we are solving mental issue to the women and girls who are victims of denigration. The war in the Congo resulted in many parents' deaths and in addition, this was part of the cause of women denigration. The effect of denigration of these victims made them lost self-esteem and self-respect in the community. Canisa's goal is to help the children who lost their parents during the multiple massacres that took place in Congo DRC. On the women's side, we help those who have been victim of this denigration in the Congo which continues to occur till this day. Our goal is to create a center of reception for the marginalized so they can have the mental health that the need to go to school; this plan helps us push a future of building a school for this particular population. We are working in Kadjucu South Kivu and Amato Katanga (a very remote community) where the large majority of children have not touched a computer and those who have already had access to a computer are few. Sometimes families simply accept the fact that their children can't go to school because they don't have the resources or the person who was paying the tuition fees was killed. In this environment it is common to find children that never enrolled in school since birth. History Here you include a biography of key staff, your business track record (success stories), company goals, and philosophy; essentially highlight your expertise. The people who work for this project are all victims in one way or another of the poor governance of Congo DRC. His grandmother was killed during the 1994 genocide: - Matilde, His mother was violated in front of him and killed after she refused to have a relationship with her son in front of her husband. - Victora’s father was killed because he didn't have the money to give. - Mwamini her husband, was cut in several pieces in front of her and the children. - Jeannette, her father, was killed after rescuing them. All the women who sell fish each have their own story similar to Her’s. The Congolese government has recognized Canisa Project us and we have all the documents required by the Congolese government for an organization to become legal. We respected all the administrative and juridical requirements of the Congolese administration. We have started to help students by getting parents involved in the fishing and the sale of fishes. We realized that by doing so, we are only supporting a very small part of the community, which is why we believe that constructing a school will be more beneficial for the community. We have been cooperating with. The Salesian Fathers are helping us in the agriculture in Katanga by providing us with their agricultural specialist. Goal: Improve the literacy and overall ability of expression of children from inner-city schools in [the community]. Goal: Canisa’s goal is to increase and improve the levels of education in the forgotten area within the neighborhoods. We want to introduce technology in the classroom for them to be at the same level of development as other children in the world. Unfortunately, Congo is well known as a poor country which cannot afford such expenses especially in the rural areas even if the government were to provide some extent of the expenses. This is precisely why we need help from other countries such as America to hep us. Good project management discipline and methodologies with detailed requirements specified and individual tasks articulated (project schedule) will keep a good focus on tasks, deliverables and results We believe this approach will bring the changes we want to achieve in 6 years . When our own school(s) will become effective, then we are going to consider how to influence school curriculum modification with the collaboration with the Ministry of Education. Regarding evaluation of the work, we mentioned that we cooperate with the Salesians' fathers in agriculture, that means that once we will start or in the procedure, we will engage them in order for them to be able to value the work we do, since they also have their schools and they are more experienced than us, therefore they will be involved in the work of the school. In the meantime we are also considering to reference gain support from The Niagara University. Niagara University is an institution that has a leadership policy program and trains its students in the area of institutional evaluation, so they could also do an evaluation of organizations.
