Noëlla Coursaris Musunka visits Google to discuss Malaika, a
grassroots nonprofit that empowers girls and communities in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo through a school, a community
center, and a clean water program.
Malaika has grown into a fully-functioning ecosystem impacting
thousands of lives each year, anchored by its accredited primary
and secondary school for more than 400 girls. The Malaika School
provides a comprehensive education for girls ages 5-18 with a
STEM-focused curriculum including coding, music, theater, sport and
art, ensuring that students are equipped with a 21st century
education. Malaika also includes a community center that offers a
range of programs to 5,000 youth and adults, a clean water program
with 25 wells that service over 35,000 people each year, technical
classes educating and certifying future electricians and mechanics,
and a sustainable agricultural program that helps provide two
nutritious meals each day to students and staff. All of Malaika's
community-driven programs are free and serve as a model that can be
replicated on a global scale in communities around the world.
