Reforestation and sustainable management of ecosystems in the Kwilu district, D.R. Congo, 2011-2013
CDI Bwamanda is a Belgian NGO dedicated to education and sustainable agriculture in D.R. Congo. To lift the ecological pressure from the Kwilu district, restore the forests and structurally improve the soil quality, CDI introduces agro-forestry methods. For example, the hill ridges of 1,235 acres of heavily degraded savannah will be reforested, and 1,235 acres of oil palm trees will be planted in the valleys. In order to be able to carry out these plans, CDI will be working with 125 farmer organisations with a total of 20,000 members.
Until 2013, the Turing Foundation will contribute €25,000 per year to the project.

Better access to education for vulnerable children, Bukavu and Walungu, D.R. Congo, 2010-2011
In South-Kivu, War Child strives for better access to education for vulnerable children. D.R. Congo knows a great shortage of qualified teachers. Therefore, War Child trains teachers associated with the provincial educational authorities in a wide range of subjects: the national curriculum, modern teaching methods, safety at school, psychosocial wellbeing, school management and supervising methods. For a period of 2 years then, the teacher trainers will train the teachers, parents' councils and the school managements of 16 schools in Bukavu and Walungu harbouring 4800 children. On top of that, teaching material will be distributed, school furniture will be provided and small infrastructural improvements (such as toilets, repairs) will be done.
Just like last year, the Turing Foundation donates €40,000 to cover half of the project costs.

Construction of an ecological school in Sinia, D.R. Congo, 2009-2011
The Wasmoeth Wildlife Foundation protects animals threatened with extinction. One of its projects is the establishment of a nature reserve (Boyoma Sanctuary) on an island in the River Congo, near the village of Sinia. None of the children in this village ever attended a school, since there were no schools in the surrounding area. At the request of the local authorities, the foundation is building a primary school which can accommodate 180 pupils - to be extended later to 360 pupils. Ecology is part of the educational programme.
The Turing Foundation finances the full construction costs of this school (€ 40,000).
