On May 28th, we will inaugurate a Rural Transformation Center in the Benguela province, Angola – a space designed to be a driver of local development and social inclusion, with a special focus on women, youth, and small entrepreneurs.This innovative center includes:- A training room equipped with technological resources, aimed at promoting access to knowledge and technical and professional training.- A food processing kitchen, where the community will be trained on nutritional diversification and encouraged to develop food entrepreneurship through the production of commercially viable food products.- A small children's library to foster a love for reading and knowledge from an early age.We had the honor of welcoming Denise Antonio, UNDP Resident Representative in Angola, whose presence reinforced the importance of partnerships in achieving real impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).This is more than infrastructure — it's a catalyst for transformation. 🌍

 FONDATION ONDJYLA
In an African language, Ondjyla is an expression that means “path”. Fondation Ondjyla is thoroughly engaged in helping young people building the path of their lives, making them the authors of their destiny. The foundation is engaged with the promotion of knowledge, education, entrepreneurship and exchange, with a particular focus on African young people, contributing to the empowerment, sustainability and development of people and communities, especially children and those who are young. Fondation Ondjyla believes that the access to an education focused on vocational training may have a strong impact on the living conditions of young people that are now preparing themselves for the labour market and their families. The foundation wishes also to provide to the different populations the tools and the option to develop an economic activity which will ensure them decent living conditions near the communities where they grew up and in which they are integrated. |
