We are committed to reducing the number of children living on the streets in Congo by providing a nurturing place for homeless children to heal, grow, and learn. Mugeni is dedicated to creating a path for each child that leads to a successful future
Mugeni Montage works with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by preparing them for the working and business world. The impetus behind the charity stems from the desire to serve the community better and to invest in the younger generation in hopes of alleviating one of the UK’s most challenging issues today - knife and gun crime.
The idea is to inspire and motivate young people to invest in their passions and use their skills in a positive manner, getting them off the streets and making productive use of their time.
Mugeni offers support to the community with various initiatives such as;
-Helping its members set up businesses
-Mentoring for young people
-Providing after-school homework club and free tuition in Maths, English & Science
-Excursions and holiday activities
-Business & Project Management training courses
These services provide enrichment and extra support for disadvantaged children who may not be getting these opportunities outside of school. They become progressively more disadvantaged until the gap between them and advantaged children is huge. This gap causes a severe hurdle for those seeking to enter higher education and the job market. For those seeking business advice, the charity also connects young entrepreneurs to potential investors and mentors.
We aim to break the barriers between advantage and disadvantaged young people by providing support that equip them with the right tools and confidence to pursue a career of their choice
Story
We Are Raising £100,000 in 2023 to build a permanent home for the street children of Congo. We are building a housing centre that will accommodate and support over 230 children on a yearly basis.
We are working to secure as much funds as possible through grants to put towards this plan. However, nothing is definite, therefore we are relying heavily on the support of donors to meet this target and be able to provide the street children with a loving home and care.
Our aim for the build in 2023 is to complete phase one, which consists of purchasing the land, building the first block to accommodate over 40 children as well as building a learning area for the children.
Help us to build the centre for street children providing them with a permanent home and giving them life's basic necessities, including the right to free education.
