Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Boys & Girls Clubs, Children & Youth, Civil Rights, Disabilities, Disabled Persons Rights, Education, Secondary & High Schools
Mission: Working with local people to stop corruption by building integrity, through education and civic engagement. We empower citizens to stop corruption by building integrity, through education, awareness raising and civic engagement. Our team helps youth to develop ideas – and the communities around them – that can make decision-makers more responsible. This helps them achieve a high-impact across their communities through community awareness raising on corruption in public services and infrastructure projects.
Results: In December 2017 we kicked off our first Integrity Clubs in 20 secondary schools in Uvira. 300 motivated students from all disciplines, including 152 girls, were trained to become youth monitors. To date, the 300 trained youth monitors are involved in monitoring infrastructure projects or service delivery projects in their schools and in the communities as whole. They then write a report about their findings and recommendations and share it with the service providers, implementing agencies, local government, donors and contractors. If problems are found within a project or a service, students organise meetings with the stakeholders to try to come up with a shared solution. If this does not work, students start an advocacy campaign to try to solve the problem. As result of this investment in youth, trained integrity builders continue to transform their talent to become leaders with integrity. During the monthly sessions with young people in others schools these young leaders and in the process of bringing others into the fold.
