Beyond the school, Malaika runs a Community Center that provides literacy, vocational education, sports programs, and internet access to thousands of youth and adults each year, along with a Vocational Training Center developed in partnership with the Caterpillar Foundation to prepare out-of-school youth for sustainable work.
The organization also manages essential infrastructure and services, including wells that deliver clean water to tens of thousands and a community farm that supports nutrition and sustainable agriculture, all funded to operate at no cost to participants. Founded in 2007, Malaika emphasizes long-term development by combining education, health, water, and economic training to address multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals within the DRC.
