EDUCATION

Education is a powerful tool for social and economic empowerment. In communities where we support education, we intervene to address the most inhibiting barriers progressively. The most significant barrier in Congo's Mugunga Community (near Goma town) was the lack of a school nearby. Our education programs create safe, inclusive, quality learning environments for girls and boys.

We built our first school in 2011 whose enrollment has now surpassed 700 children. 

The children receive formal education from trained local teachers and a meal to support their nutrition needs. In 2011 we built our first school that has now surpassed 700 students. In 2022, we commenced the construction of a school in Idjwi Island. The Idjwi Island of Congo on Lake Kivu is referred to as Africa's Forgotten Island. At 70 km (43 mi) in length and an area of 340 km2 (131 sq mi), it is the second-largest inland Island in Africa and the tenth-largest in the world. People on this Island have been surrounded for years by war but have always been spared the violence. Although many organizations work in Congo, there are hardly any in the forgotten Island.

School Infrastructure

PIPES empowers communities through education, growth, and development. We build quality infrastructure to provide students with learning environments. We don't just build schools but partner with schools to grow, develop, and deliver quality education. We also support students with the necessary materials to foster learning.

The new school on Idjwi Island will cater for 300-400 students. It opens doors in September 2023. PIPES International believes every child deserves access to quality education. No child should be left behind. We develop schools and empower teachers to impact the lives of thousands of students.

Educating the Mind

For any society to grow and flourish, access to formal education for children must be made a priority. Many indigenous peoples, however, like the Pygmies of Congo are not afforded the fundamental right to education for their children. We've intervened by creating education safe, inclusive, quality learning environments for girls and boys. In Congo's Mugunga Community (near Goma town), the most significant barrier was the lack of a school in the vicinity. We built a school in 2011 whose enrollment has now surpassed 700 children. The children receive formal education from trained local teachers and a meal to support their nutrition needs.

Educating the heart

In our holistic approach to ministry, we acknowledge that the most incredible seed we can plant is God's word, and the greatest hope we can give is the hope of eternal life. We, therefore, share God's love and disciple believers to be rooted in Christ.

Our organization ministers to people from diverse cultures. We do not look at different cultures from one's experiences and background. To preserve the cultural heritage of all indigenous people, PIPES International uses the Bible as the sole grid to teach and make disciples of Jesus Christ. We are in the business of sharing the gospel and bringing people to God's kingdom.

Reshaping the landscape of education

PIPES is reshaping the landscape of education in Africa. We believe every child deserves access to quality education. No child should be left behind.
