At the core of this initiative, the technical support that AVSI gives to two Congolese associations: Tayuwana and the Club of Youth for Sexual and Sanitary Education (Club des Jeunes pour l’Education Sexuelle et à la Santé – CJESS).

The project intervenes in the fields of education and environmental protection, and in the agricultural sector.
