The aim of the "Screen Capture" project was to finance the annual digital training of 50 young people. It also made it possible to maintain and complete the equipment in the existing computer rooms, finance the trainers' salaries and ensure a reliable electrical network to guarantee the best possible level of learning for the students.

"Jeunesse en Chaine Pour le Développement" (JCD) is one of the fruits of the Daughters of Charity congregation on mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  It was set up in 2016 in Kinshasa to offer vocational training to idle young people excluded from the world of work.

"As soon as we received the funds in July, we made the various equipment purchases except for the digital camera and its accessories, as the price was much more expensive than the initial cost." Sr Wivine Kisu

Just as the training sessions were about to begin during the students' summer vacations, a number of events slowed down the implementation of the project: 

- heavy rains in August in Kinshasa damaged the roof of the building in which all the computer equipment and accessories were stored. Repair work took a long time, which is why the project did not start until early 2024.

- power cuts were still too frequent, so training sessions could only take place in the mornings (Sr Wivine: We repaired the generator we had three times)

- the town was confronted with kidnappings during the December 2023 election period. Fears of kidnapping forced many students to stay at home. 

"For the time being, we have only had 25 beneficiaries for the morning training, due to power cuts which prevented the other 25 beneficiaries from being trained in the afternoon."

"It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of JCD, to express our sincere thanks for the invaluable help given to this group of unemployed and impoverished young people who will benefit from computer training at the Centre Marie Bernard. In a town with an unemployment rate of 38%, it's important and necessary to help young people become independent by learning or doing certain jobs."

"Thank you so much for the support you and the Rosalie Projects team give to our most needy brothers and sisters." Sr Wivine Kisu
