Putting faces to the names ✨

For many who come to visit Malaika, Cynthia and Strong are two of the people who help make the experience so special.

From the moment guests arrive in Congo to the moment they leave, Cynthia is there taking care of every detail and making everyone feel at home. Alongside her is Strong, capturing beautiful memories through his photography, and beyond the camera, he’s also an accredited football coach inspiring young people on and off the pitch ⚽️

Their warmth, dedication, and hard work help create unforgettable experiences for everyone who visits 🤍

Fresh from the fields 🌱

Our agricultural programme is not only teaching valuable hands-on skills in sustainable farming, it also plays an important role in daily life at Malaika, helping provide two meals a day for both students and staff.

There’s something powerful about seeing the direct impact of this work: food grown with care, knowledge passed on through experience, and a programme rooted in sustainability, self-sufficiency, and community ✨

🇬🇧 “If it weren’t for Malaika, I would have been a street kid.”
Benjamin had dreamed of plumbing since he was a little boy. In the DRC, a country where construction never stops, skilled plumbers are essential. Today, he is learning his trade at Malaika Community Centre and transforming his life.
His story shows just how much education can change everything. 🔧🇨🇩❤️

🇫🇷 « Si ce n’était pas Malaika, je devrais être un enfant de la rue. »
Benjamin rêvait de plomberie depuis tout petit. En RDC, un pays en pleine construction, les plombiers qualifiés sont essentiels. Aujourd’hui, il apprend son métier au Centre Communautaire Malaika et il transforme sa vie.
Son histoire montre à quel point l’éducation peut tout changer. 🔧🇨🇩❤️
