The Mama Tola Social program is a beacon of hope for young women in the community who were unable to complete their education due to early pregnancies. This initiative is designed to empower these women and provide them with the tools they need to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
The program is driven by a team of dedicated Congolese teachers and volunteers. Under the leadership of their director, Bernadette, this group has created a comprehensive curriculum that addresses the unique challenges faced by young mothers and wives.
The Mama Tola Social program offers instruction in a range of essential subjects to ensure the holistic development of its participants. Academic instruction includes reading, math, and budgeting skills, which are fundamental for everyday life and future opportunities.
In addition to academic subjects, the program also equips young women with practical skills such as sewing and baking. These skills not only foster creativity but also open up potential avenues for income generation.
The curriculum extends beyond educational and vocational skills to include guidance on establishing a Christian home and understanding family planning. This focus helps participants create stable and nurturing environments for their families, supporting both their personal growth and the well-being of their children.
