Malaika's Historic First Graduation: Students Ready to Lead the DRC's Future

Also in attendance were Governor Jacques Kyabula Katwe and Url Kluser, General Secretary of UEFA Foundation. This historic moment was celebrated with performances and speeches by students and youth of the Community Center. Eve, as President of the First Cohort also spoke. After the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to visit the Malaika Scientific Village, organized by the students to showcase their comprehension of STEM education. 

"This summer marks a big milestone for Malaika, as we say farewell to our very first cohort of students. These 17 students are embarking on the next chapter of their lives, taking everything that they've learned at Malaika with them," commented Founder & Executive Director Noella Coursaris Musunka. "Our students will always remain part of the Malaika family, and our work doesn't stop when our girls close the school's doors behind them."

Malaika Ambassador Eve, a hip-hop star and actress, commented: "Coming together as one big Malaika family this summer means so much as we celebrate the past 12 years of education for these 17 girls and set them off on their next chapter. Malaika is rewriting the narrative for girls and their families, and I couldn't be prouder to be part of the Malaika family."
