BEIJING, May 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In a significant contribution to local
infrastructure and community well-being, Kambov Mining, a
joint venture between China Nonferrous Metal Mining (CNMC) and
Gécamines SA, is pleased to announce the official handover of the
newly constructed Kashengeneck School to the local government. This
event marks a crucial milestone in the company's commitment to
social responsibility and fostering China-DRC relations.
Located in the heart of Kashengeneck village within Kambowe
Township, Likasi City, the school project commenced in October 2023. Over a span of nearly five months,
Kambov Mining collaborated closely with construction and
supervision teams to ensure the highest standards of safety and
quality were maintained. The new facility includes six fully
equipped classrooms, an administrative building with offices and a
conference room, and comprehensive sanitation facilities featuring
modern bathrooms. Additionally, the campus is secured by robust
perimeter walls.
In parallel with the school, the project also introduced a
sophisticated public well system designed to address the village's
water scarcity issues. The well system is equipped with a
state-of-the-art water filtration mechanism, two 5m3 water storage tanks, and solar
panels that power the entire system, including a durable steel
derrick and five accessible faucets. These enhancements have
significantly reduced the distance villagers previously traveled
for clean water, thus improving their daily lives and health.
During the inauguration ceremony, Wang Shougao, chairman of
the Kambov Mining of CNMC, said that the completion and
delivery of the public well project for schools and villagers is a
milestone in the company's public welfare activities and a powerful
witness to the friendship between China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, condensing
the deep friendship between the two peoples. He hoped that
teachers, students and villagers would cherish the school and
public wells, and wished villagers an improving life quality, and
more children could go to school to receive education.
The ceremony was graced by the presence of Mr. John Muloba
Kitonge, Finance Minister of Upper Katanga, who highly praised the
campus and public wells of high quality donated by CNMC. He said
that Kambov's own development has provided more jobs for the
community, and it has actively fulfilled its social
responsibilities. The livelihood problems of many people in the
community are solved and a win-win cooperation has been achieved.
May Kambov be more harmonious with the community, and may the
friendship between the two countries last forever.
Established under the visionary "Belt and Road" initiative,
Kambov Mining has consistently demonstrated a commitment to
sustainable development and community welfare. In 2023 alone, the
company successfully implemented five major social responsibility
projects, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for positive change in
the communities it serves.
