In Minembwe, many Banyamulenge families struggle to pay school fees. When tuition goes unpaid, children are sent home, sometimes for good. Education becomes a privilege instead of a right.
CHACHU was founded in 2016 by university students who believed their generation could be leaven for change. Today, that change looks like keeping children in class.
