Mattru Jong Project Pioneer Summit
The Mattru Jong Project, led by the 21st Century African Youth Movement through Community Projects International, aims to revitalize Mattru Jong, the capital of the Jong Chiefdom. Once a thriving community with rich historical roots and economic potential, Mattru Jong seeks support to rebuild after years of war. The project focuses on creating jobs, improving local industries, enhancing education, and fostering youth participation. By developing Moselleh into a hub for art, culture, and tourism, the initiative seeks to preserve the town’s legacy while promoting sustainable growth and community well-being.
