Manono Market Today Manono had no proper market structures and most vendors would sit under the sun and rain to sell perishable and non-perishable items. Our goals in the market project are centered around: Enabling safe treatment of consumable goods sold at the market; Encourage sound and sustainable hygiene practices; Ensuring safe disposal perishable and non-perishable items; Improve access to proper ablution facilities Empowerment of the population through a market extension scheme that will be birthed through revenue made from the renting program : the lack of safe hygiene practices and basic sanitation infrastructure entrepreneurial development and growth for Manono by Manono
Education and youth Rural youth constitute the largest sector of the youth population in the DRC. They are confronted with problems such as lack of amenities, social services and educational facilities; isolation and lack of organization for youth; War and political unrest have desecrated the country of DRC, leaving the task of societal rebuilding to the next generation. Without the basic skills and practical knowledge of a quality education, revitalization can become increasingly difficult. Project Congo pours into the future of DRC by giving Congolese children the educational resources to thrive.
Manono technical school Vinmart began renovating Schools located in Manono (Mukushi,Tunangu, Nsilwilo, Tunkankamanei Secondary, Tunkankamanei Primary), and the Manono technical school . The latter will specializes in fashion design, engineering and auto mechanics. Although this is a technical school, they lack the basic equipment necessary for students to gain hands on experience in the trades they are studying. Vinmart has assisted in restoring classroom structures by obtaining the resources necessary to reconstruct the roof, blackboards, windows and work space.
Sport and recreation
Sports and recreation are integral parts of child and youth development. The youth and entire village will benefit from the rehabilitated hall and can use it to host different private and public functions. The rehabilitation of the the Manono Stadium and the Foyer Mukushi has also salvaged a piece of Manono history that was destroyed during the war. The inauguration of the football pitch and recreation centre was marked by a football match between local teams with community members and local authorities all present.
