The Democratic Republic of Congo

‘Schools in the World’ is an international programme that promotes education and healthy nutrition through an avantgarde pedagogical training with the aim of contributing to the physical and psychic wellbeing of the project’s beneficiaries and in that way, achieving what Giovenale hoped for: “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.

Despite the fertile land, the vast hydroelectric potential and abundance of mineral resources, the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the poorest countries in the world and finds itself in serious socio-economic difficulties.
Especially the infant mortality rate is very high, malnutrition is widespread, there is poor vaccination coverage and the access to drinking water is limited.
