The project purpose is to construct a two-storey building which will host a conference hall, a computer room with library and a reading room. Furthermore, the new building will give the possibility to the Claretians to offer to the Institute of St Augustin of Kinshasa, which currently is in charge of the academic training in philosophy, an adequate venue to organise conferences and lectures.
Once the centre will be built, there will also be organized an IT course, alphabetization classes, and courses in stock farming, agriculture and home economy.
