In this episode, Sarah Castor-Johnson from Malembe Rise joins us. She helps us explore the transformative work of Malembe Rise, a nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
We dive into the organization’s flagship initiative, the Club of Leaders, a dynamic leadership program designed to equip young people with the skills, mentorship, and resources they need to make a lasting impact. By fostering a student-centered approach, Malembe Rise ensures that these future leaders are not just learning, but actively participating in developing their communities.
Our discussion highlights the organization's emphasis on community collaboration, the vital role of their dedicated staff in guiding students and families, and their ambitious growth plans. Malembe Rise is working to expand its footprint by launching more Clubs of Leaders across Kinshasa and partnering with vocational training programs to help students seamlessly transition into the workforce.
