Future Projects
The Mindful Children’s Education in Africa aim to extend their activities in Africa continent specially in three countries of Africa, D.R Congo, especially in Eastern Congo, where the war has been left most of people homeless, many children was been left orphans and women was been abused and raped.
The civil wars in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have worsened over time, Today scholars refer the situation in South and North Kivu Provinces, as the world worse war, despite the richest natural resources the country has, the majority in South Kivu live in Poverty, often on a single meal a day or nothing at all. There is no important to be born and the children whose parents have been taken away from them have little chances to survive.
We as Mindful Children Education in Africa, view this as a global call because their curse is the blessing to rest of fellow human. Reason why we would like to start in future one of our project to help children of these areas, DRC
DEMOGRAPHICS
The population of the Saldanha Bay Municipal area grew from 51 238 in 1996 to 70 439 in 2001 to 99 168 in 2011 to 107 366 in 2015. This situation bares testimony to the number of people who moved into the area in search of employment, but it is not a true reflection of what is currently happening in the region.
There is (according to the local estate agents and the Saldanha Bay Municipality’s building plans), such an influx of people that the local schools cannot cope with intakes and there is a shortage of accommodation for middle to lower income groups.
Demographics
There is so many cases that were been reported of drugs abused, traumatized, and highly percent of HIV/AIDS, there are a great many households not on the formal census as hundreds (maybe thousands) of migrants and refugee from Africa living in informal settlements ended up in Saldanha in search of work.
