My name is Kaaba Konaté, I am 28 years old and I am a teacher but currently unemployed. I am married since 2015 and I have 3 children. I live in Fodecariah since 2015
My tasks:
I am Coordinator of girls' sponsorship for the NGO "Bildungsförderung in OberGuinea e.v."
My goals:
To work so that the aid (financial, material and moral) from the NGO reaches the beneficiary girls in the expected conditions
I am also responsible for the follow-up of the sponsored girls during their schooling in order to keep them in school
My difficulties in the field:
Low involvement of the parents in the follow-up of the girls during their schooling (90% of the parents are illiterate)
Lack of means / travel expenses to regularly reach the girls in Dalaba and Kignéro
Problem of follow-up of the sponsored girls who move elsewhere to take their baccalaureate in Kankan or Siguiri.
My dreams in 10 years are:
That there are girls, among the sponsored girls, who actively contribute to the socio-economic development of the community of Balimana
That the partnership is further strengthened between the NGO "Bildungsforderung in Ober Guinea e.v." and the community of Balimana.
My other passions:
That the most motivated and courageous girls continue their studies, and even go to the West for their higher education.
The perpetuation of all the infrastructures set up by the NGO "Bildungsforderung in OberGuinea e.v." in the Republic of Guinea.
The sending of my first boy to Germany to study.
My expectations from our collaboration:
A significant improvement of the literacy rate and of the education system in general, and for girls in particular, throughout Balimana.
