The Resources Centre opened its doors in July 2009.  The centre enables young people in the 13-25 age group and adults, to learn skills to achieve their potential, setup small-scale, self-sustaining enterprises locally and to raise awareness of public affairs.  The great majority of our beneficiaries are female students. The centre will have 5 staff, all local, and several foreign assistants/volunteers from various parts of the world.  Activities include:

• Arts & Design courses
• Language courses
• Performing Arts
• Health & Beauty 
• Personal Development
• Practical skills & Training       
• Information technology 

 It will also have AIDS prevention and remedial classes for secondary school pupils and a public library. The centre will work with schools across Kinshasa and beyond and will be accessible to the community and several thousand young pupils who will all benefit from its services which will in most part be free of charge.   MenelikEducation will set up a committee of volunteers who will regularly go out to the DR Congo to monitor the work at first hand, to assess ongoing needs and to ensure that all your money is properly spent.
