LITERACY CENTER FOR YOUNG WOMEN IDLES OF MOMA

So we need to look one way or another to Oversee the rising youth and wandering, and the battered woman abandoned, which is undoubtedly the future of this region and which must be the concern of all who call themselves Friends of the Great Lakes region.

This situation has had negative repercussions at all levels and especially in terms of education because many young people did not study any more and now they are in the illiteracy that is to say they can not read or write or calculate and then it is a basis for learning trades that can lead them toward self-care, and become useful in society.

This problem is essentially a large number of young school leavers and women in idleness among which are displaced, returned, refugees, ex-combatants, orphans and single mothers who spend their time wandering in the whole day with different forms of begging, stealing, cheating in, making prostitution and any form of crime.

After making field investigations, we observed that the situation in which they live is caused by the war has been in the territory more than a decade and the consequences of which are characterized by absolute poverty of the population and non-schooling of children, women and youth in exile and have grown up without being prepared from an educational and today they find themselves in a situation of illiteracy.
The demobilization of young soldiers bitter integration movements from Mai –Mai to the regular army is also the base for this situation because these movements have been used for a long period they have not had time to prepare the education plan and now they are in a situation of total idleness.
This makes us to see the serious consequences including the spread of HIV / AIDS following these girls and women who have gone into prostitution, ignorance, extreme poverty and above all they are a time bomb.
For this purpose, and therefore it is seen by CEDEF require to create with the help of people of good will, a literacy support for cultural and social psychological battered woman, young orphans and vulnerable to promote his self-care, and especially make them more useful to society than to damage it.
