BYAC is no longer a vision or dream, but we are a group of 25 youth in Bukavu, DRC who are ready to commit to building a better future for Congo through our daily actions, careers, studies, and participation in BYAC.
We are officially registered with the government and the Director of DRC’s Youth Ministry in South Kivu had the privilege of cutting the ribbon to officially open our office on Saturday, April 14th. We invited individuals and organizations to attend our launch ceremony where the members of BYAC gave a presentation on youth leadership and performed a skit, proverbs, poems, and a song.
Meetings with youth members began in January. We started renting a facility in February and our programs began. In March, BYAC held a small conference among its members celebrating Women’s Day and raising awareness about the importance of the leadership of women. BYAC also produced its first newsletter in March. More updates and photos coming soon to the website!
