NDUENGA CONFERENCE

FIRST EDITION

“Feeding Africans with Skills, and not just Food and Clothing.”

REPORT

THEME: Entrepreneurship and Management in Congo

2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The year 2013 has been filled with many inspiring successes. We have

strengthened our mission in empowering Africans through

entrepreneurship. One of our most important achievements of last year

was organizing an international entrepreneurship conference in the

Republic of Congo. We are humbled to be the first organization to

introduce this type of conference to Congo to benefit all local people.

The purpose of the NDUENGA Conference is to create a platform where

Congolese/Africans can be empowered to become successful

entrepreneurs by learning from other successful entrepreneurs.

Many of the challenges African entrepreneurs face are around financing,

acquiring a skillset, and having continual mentoring in entrepreneurship.

The NDEUNGA Conference exists to help solve these issues through our

business plan competition, workshops, mentoring, panel discussions,

networking, and speeches by well-respected entrepreneurs.

In Africa there is a saying, “no matter how long the night lasts, the day is

sure to come.” Entraide is working to bring that day to many Africans by

providing diverse and well planned programs that help people see the

power of entrepreneurship. I am honored to be part of this great cause,

and to serve many people who live in extreme poverty.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our sponsors and

partners who have devoted their resources to help make the

conference happen. There are no words that can adequately express my

gratitude. Through your sacrifice, so much hope, so many skills, and so

much confidence have been freely provided to the wonderful people of

Congo. We have initiated a new era in Congo, an era of change,

innovation, confidence, and achievement.

Even though we were faced with extreme external factors that we could

not control, causing our plan to change on several occasions, we were

pleased by the results of the conference and we expect to have an even

greater and more rewarding conference in October 2014.

Thank you

Vulcain M. Yengo

Founder/CEO Entraide Congo

Vulcain Minerve Yengo

Founder, President and CEO of

Entraide.

Vulcain (known as Yengo to his

friends) grew up in the small town of

Brazzaville, located close to the river

Congo in the Republic of Congo. His

childhood was challenged with

hunger and poverty. Though his

parents worked hard to take care of

their 11 children, the most they could

make in any given day was a little

under $2. This amount barely allowed

for Yengo and his siblings to eat, let

alone provide for other necessities.

Throughout the years Yengo has been

blessed with opportunities that have

assisted him in rising above his

childhood circumstances. Due to this,

he built Entraide Congo to help other

unfortunate Africans to rise above

their impoverished circumstances.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

NDUENGA CONFERENCE Republic of Congo Dec. 2013

(Nduenga is Lari for intelligence, creativity, and wisdom)

ABOUT CONGO

The Republic of Congo is a developing country in

Central Africa with just over four million people. The majority live on less than $2 a day and have very

limited access to education and healthcare. The unemployment rate for young men and women aged

15-29 is 65%. The country has been severely affected by several wars over the years.

However, the people are resilient and desire to work at something worthwhile that supports their

families. Additionally, in a population of four million, only 6,000 people have access to microcredit

loans. Among the cause of such a high rate of unemployment is the deficiency of practical and

professional training; the lack of jobs, and absence of government involvement (as stated in a report

published by UNICEF in 2010).

THE STORY OF ENTRAIDE AND THE NDUENGA CONFERENCE

Driven by the compelling and urgent needs in his country, The Republic of Congo, Vulcain Yengo

founded Entraide with the goal of empowering the entrepreneurial potential of African men and

women. He is currently the Entraide President/CEO and a senior at Brigham Young University - Hawaii

(BYUH) majoring in Business Management & Supply Chain Management. He is also a certified SAP

consultant, a Project Management CAPM and Green Belt level Six Sigma.

4

He has worked as a project manager for ENACTUS BYUH and as an inventory specialist for the BYUH

Distribution Center. Entraide's presentation at the 2011 BYUH Business Plan Competition won $5000.

Yengo and a committee of fellow Brigham Young University students conceptualized and began working

on the Entraide organization in the fall of 2011. It was designed to teach small groups of students basic

business principles and entrepreneurship concepts and include mentoring and hands on assistance as

they started actual businesses. With faculty input, a curriculum was developed and translated into

French. Yengo, Josh Christie (BYUH graduate currently employed by Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake City) and

Joenne Briones (BYUH graduate with extensive teaching experience in the very successful Academy for

Creating Enterprise in the Philippines) raised additional funds and traveled to Brazzaville, Congo, in

September of 2012 with a plan and a purpose. In two weeks, they launched Entraide, set up an ongoing

organization and structure, conducted the first training session, graduated 8 students and assisted with

the start up of 6 businesses. 28 men and women have now come through the Entraide program and 21

new businesses have been created. Assessment of the curriculum, start up successes and failures,

product development, sales techniques, etc. are ongoing.

The program includes teaching basic business skills (including business management, accounting, and marketing) to

starting actual businesses-- from production to sales to practice plus reviewing the principles taught in class.

WHY THE WORD “NDUENGA”

Nduenga is Lari word meaning: intelligence, creativity, smartness, open mindedness, and wisdom. It implies a higher level of thinking through problem to find the best ethical possible solution. In Congo, old wise men believe that Nduenga could be achieved with continuous learning, experience, practice and mentoring from older people. At the Nduenga conference, we invite all entrepreneurs and participants to not only remember the word “Nduenga” but to make it part of your life forever. At this conference we form a team of devoted men and women who firmly believe that if Africans can use, increase or improve their Nduenga in the area of entrepreneurship, then many of the economic, social and environment issues that most African countries are facing can be solved by the people of Africa themselves.

ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS

DAY 1

OSP: Objective Service Project

Date Held: December 16th, 2013

Location: Emile Biayenda Orphanage Brazzaville, Congo.

The OSP concept aims to provide service project with a long-term impact on the community. The

OSP helps individuals to find solutions to their problems and knowing exactly how to solve them

instead of relying on organizations, institutions and other people to do it for them. The OSP stands

for Objective Service Project. The motto of the OSP is LEARN-DO-MAINTAIN. Through the OSP,

Entraide goal is to help educate communities and people to LEARN to consistently DO whatever

they can to clean and MAINTAIN their environment or communities and make them cleaner, safer

and better. It proposes a new way of solving day-to-day problems related to health and

environment cleanliness in developing countries by educating the people and giving them

opportunity to help themselves and their communities.

On December 16th, the NDUENGA team visited an orphanage to help solve some of the issues the

orphanage was facing. The experience was amazing and rewarding for both Entraide and the

orphanage. The team consisted of:

- Dr. Robert Fuller (see picture in Appendex)

- Joshua Christie (see picture in Appendex)

- Otso Fristrom (see picture in Appendex)

- Vulcain M. Yengo(see picture in Appendex)

- Entraide Congo Team (see picture in Appendex)

DESCRIPTION

6

The Emile Biayenda Orphanage (EBO) is one of the

hundreds plus orphanages in the Republic of Congo

that work to give hope to orphans. Lead by its

devoted founder, Massamba, the EBO currently

takes care of 35 kids with age between 2 years old

and 18 years old. Even though the intention of the

founder is to help the kids to have a better future

and to have access to better health, education and

food, the EBO faces many problems on a daily basis

including:

- No plan or resources to support the kids

when they reach 18 years old of age and have to leave the orphanage. Some of the kids go back

on the street living in worse conditions.

- Insufficient financial support, so the EBO can’t cover all the needs of the kids, especially health

needs: Toothaches (lack of knowledge about how to brush their teeth and , Malaria (caused by

mosquitos), malnutrition, and so on)

- Malaria is common among the kids

- Lack of knowledge among kids to do simple things like: brushing teeth (cause of toothaches

among kids), cleaning the houses and trashing dirt (cause the number of mosquitos to increase)

and so on.

To help solve these issues, our team conducted different activities at the orphanage, including: Food,

House cleaning products (brooms, shovel…), cloth, and toothbrush donation to the kids. Lesson on how

to brush teeth have been effectively by Dr. Robert Fuller. The lesson was divided in two parts: Part 1 the

kids learned the important and method of effectively brushing their teeth. Part 2 was demonstration

and practice. In addition, an OSP Lesson was taught the kids about how to clean and maintain the

orphanage clean. This lesson was taught in two parts as well by Albert Yengo. Part 1 consisted of

teaching the kids the important of cleaning the orphanage to avoid sickness such malaria. The kids learn

the important of use the trash and not throwing trash around. Part 2 consisted of practice by the team,

our team and the orphanage stuff. Hand in hand we worked together to clean the orphanage and get rid

of all the weeds. At the end a well-known young fun-story teller was invited to tell fun stories to the

kids and to entertain them.

Result

At end of the visit at the orphanage a new program was designed to help the kids, an agreement was

made between Entraide and the orphanage to build the future of these kids when they turn 18 years old.

In fact, all kids turning 18 years old will now be trained by Entraide beginning June 2014. The kids will be

trained on Entrepreneurship and practical skills and will work in group businesses.

In addition:

- 35 kids were taught important principles and

techniques of teeth brushing by Dr. Robert Fuller.

The lesson given by Dr. Fuller will help Kids teeth to

become cleaner, stronger and last longer.

- Increase in excitement and willingness among kids to

brush their teeth

- 35 kids were taught important principles and

technical of cleaning and maintaining their

orphanage clean, and saved the orphanage

approximately $1050 of malaria treatment

- All 5 kids showed an increase in understanding

- Three weeks worth of food were donated to help the

kids spend their best Christmas week. Food included:

50 kg of rice, Salt, canned Tomatoes, Salted fish, oil,

and other things.

- One big size suitcase of nicer clothes was donated to

the kids. These clothes helped the orphanage save

approximately $300 in kids clothing for the next 2

years.

- All 35 kids worked hand and hand to clean their

orphanage

Step by step, the OSP program will be introduced to many

orphanages and other type of organization in Africa to give

better health, and hope to millions of kids

DAY 2

WORKSHOPS

Date Held: December 18th, 2013

Location: Institute Of Management building, Brazzaville, Congo

The workshop consisted of a series of intense short training on specific topics. Workshops are organized

in shift and each shift last 1h maximum followed by a fifteen minutes break. The purpose of the

workshops was to educate, transform and empower African Entrepreneurs or attendees’ on business

tools, technics, and practices from experienced entrepreneurs. This year, three topics were shared

during our workshops and a total of 9 shifts were organized.

Entrepreneurs in Congo face many challenges. In fact many of the people running small businesses in

the street of Brazzaville have been somehow forced to

become entrepreneurs. They are forced by poverty and

lack of jobs. So many people jump into entrepreneurship

without any knowledge at all, and the outcome is

catastrophic. They lack skills and talents to create

successful businesses.

- Lack of entrepreneurial mindset

- Lack of business management knowledge: How to

write a business plan, how to plan well, how to

grow a business, how to market a product, how to

build a supply chain plan, how to source materials,

how to calculate profit and so on.

- Lack of empowerment

- No business expansion

- Local education program put less emphasis en

entrepreneurship

A survey conducted before the workshops among 71

random Congolese who came to attend the workshop

revealed that Congolese have dream and business

ideas that can help their country, however many

challenges face them as they even try to start. In

addition the level of confidence existe among the 71

candidates was pretty high on average.

PROBLEM

The solution we provided marks the beginning of a long journey of building Congolese/Africans into

successful ethical entrepreneurs who will create successful business, provide jobs, and improve the local

economy. I had three presenters at the workshops: two of them came form the US (Dr. Robert Fuller

and Mr. Joshua Christie) and one came from Finland (Mr. Osto Frstrom).

- Topic 1: How to turn an idea into a business by Joshua Christie

- Topic 2: Business growth by Otso Fristrom

- Topic 3: Motivation and mindset by Robert Fuller

- Topic 4: Collaboration and teamwork. Participant formed groups of 4 and participated in the

Marshmallow exercise to improve their collaborative skills. By Vulcain M. Yengo

The workshops gave us insight regarding the current level of skills of Congolese and how to really target

their needs for the future. In one of the classes participants did not know what revenue was except one.

In the overall, participants enjoyed the topics and the knowledge of the presenters. But more

importantly, they enjoyed the learning. A total of 4 topics were taught and participants attended all four

workshops on the same day non-stop. One hour per workshop.

Overall, participants learned:

- What revenue is and how to differentiate revenue and profit

- How to differentiate between a business idea and a business opportunity

- How to do market research, how to create survey and use other tool in market research

- How to grow a business (tools and technics)

- How to motivate themselves, their employees and increase their confidence lev

SPEAKERS IMPRESSION

After spending more than 5 hours interacting with all the people who attended the workshops, our speakers

(Joshua Christie, Robert Fuller, Otso Fristrom) expressed their feelings and thoughts.

MR. JOSHUA CHRISTIE

“The workshop with the students was very exciting and informative at the same time. It taught me how people want and are willing to learn the business principles and to apply it to their lives. The students were engaged in the class and showed it by answering the review question I had prepared and they asked me applicable question for their current businesses. They were also taking notes and focused in the class. For my personal review of the content of the teaching, I was not able to cover the given topics since it was too large to fit into one hour session. However, I decided to focus on the few core principles which allowed me to convey the basic but important business principles. This ended up working well for us since we were able to have discussions on these subjects. One of the impressions I received from the students is that they love hands on exercise. They like to challenge themselves with the problem that is given and try to come up with best solution. Group discussion may be an effective teaching/learning method as well since the people seems to have an attitude to not to shy away from their personal perspective but hold personal opinions. This will allow them to teach each other’s knowledge and teach them the power of synergy”.

DOCTOR ROBERT FULLER “The workshops were a tremendous way to get closer to the conference participants, and particularly engage with them more directly. I used a Slide Presentation to explain the specifics of the details of an Entrepreneurial undertaking from the start to the end. I believe everyone understood, because I asked questions, and held back until I saw nods and responses from every person in the room. It was engaging…I was interacting with the participants and they seemed to enjoy that. It took the doubt and confusion from the inexperience of the participants I felt. Personally, I felt the workshops were the most meaningful way to engage with Participants who had never had this type of teaching/learning experience before. I created situations and asked for responses from those in attendance. If I did not see demonstrative attitudes, I was more animated and interactive until they responded. My desire was for them to relax, engage, be motivated and have fun in the experience…. All in all, a great experience, I learned a lot and can be much more effective in the future. My plan is to return often as I saw in the eyes and expressions, individuals who needed the information, and were extremely appreciative of receiving It.”

MR. OTSO FRISTROM

The students seemed quite eager to learn about growing businesses,

the topic for my workshops, although surprisingly many did not have a

company of their own. Overall everyone seemed quite excited about

the workshop and they were happy to learn about various aspects that

could support their future endeavors. Many were happily copying the

board and the examples to their notebooks, and slowly opened up to a

class discussion, too.

I was a little disappointed/surprised to notice that behind the excitement there was very little foundation to build on. I had prepared not to talk about my topic in too much detail, but when I realized many of the participants did not know some of the most basic concepts, such as revenue or profit, it was difficult to adjust the message and at the same time make it meaningful. A few of the participants had enough education/experience to be able to benefit from the slightly more detailed points, and I hope they will be able to apply them in their future work. In particular few of them came over after the meetings to talk about their particular situations. I would be more than happy to participate again, although would definitely need to adjust the material presented, or, preferably, filter the attendees so that the presenters message can be influential enough to merit the trip. I'm sure the workshops and other related events will get better and more influential with the time. I think the team had put together a great event, and will continue to do so.

“THE JOURNEY HAS JUST STARTED WITH THESE SPEAKERS. THEY HAVE FOUND A CAUSE THAT BROUGHT

THEM SATISFACTION AS THEY SHARE WHAT THEY KNOW FREELY WITH AFRICANS. THE WORKSHOP HELD

IN CONGO CAN BE VALUED AT APPROXIMATEVELY $50 TO $100 PER PERSON PER SESSION, THE

TOTAL VALUE IS BETWEEN $200 AND $400 PER PERSON. ENTRAIDE WOULD HAVE MADE BETWEEN

$40,000 AND $80,000. HOWEVER VIEW THE NEED OF THE PEOPLE AND GENEREOUS DONATIONS;

THESE WORKSHOPS WERE GIVEN FOR FREE.”

DAY 3

CONFERENCE: SPEECH AND BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

Date Held: December 21th, 2013

Location: Marien Ngouabi University Library Conference room, Brazzaville, Congo

The Conference: Speech and Business competition represent a one day event where entrepreneurs

coming from all over the world have the opportunity to share their experience, ideas to teach and

empower local entrepreneurs. During this event, selected Congolese with great business idea written

into a business plan come to pitch their ideas in front of a panel of judges and attendees. Two winners

are selected and prize money awarded. Judges, speakers, competitors and everybody else have the

opportunity to network at the end of the event.

“The aim of the business plan is to promote innovative business creation in the Congo, provide access to

finance (prize money) and mentoring to the winners until their businesses succeed”

Congolese and African entrepreneurs in general face many challenges: Financing, Skills and Talent, and

Infrastructure. In Congo, entrepreneurs struggle to build successful businesses due to the lack of

empowerment, knowledge, skills, finances and networking. There is almost no setting or event in Congo

where entrepreneurs and prospective entrepreneurs can be nourished with the right stuff.

- Poverty and unemployment

- Lack of financing

- Lack of event that promote entrepreneurship

- Lack of competitiveness

- Lack of empowerment

- Lack of network with local as well as with foreign entrepreneurs, or investors (CVs, Angel

investors)

- Lack of confidence

NDEUNGA Conference exists to help solve these issues through our business plan competition,

workshops, panel discussion, networking, and speech by successful entrepreneurs. For this first edition

2013, we brought in speakers from USA, Japan, Finland, and Congo.

The purpose of the NDUENGA Conference is to create a platform where Congolese/Africans can be

empowered to become successful entrepreneurs and to learn from the most experienced entrepreneurs

from all corners of the earth. In addition, NDUENGA conference provides opportunity for the best

business ideas to be funded through our competition.

feedback we received from participant was good for our first edition. The speeches were of three types:

Type one: Motivation and empowerment. This first

type of speech was given by Robert Fuller who has

great motivation skills. It takes great motivation to

achieve goals in life and Robert Fuller provided Congo

with a reason to stay focused and motivated.

the workshops and also their past business experience

dealing with different people in different countries

Otso Fristrom and Joshua Christie gave great speeches

that summarized the key to success in

entrepreneurship.

Type three: Commitment, and Example. An amazing

speech was given by Mr. Tsengue Tsngue, local

successful entrepreneur showing the path he has

taken to achieve success in Congo. Tsengue Tsengue

showed the proof the participants that we can

succeed as entrepreneur in the Congo if we have what

it takes and work toward the dream always.

Six local Congolese participated in the business plan

competition pitching their ideas in front of the judges in a

short period of time. After evaluation, 2 winners were

selected among the six contestants. The winner were awarded

a total of CFA1,500,000 - 1 million CFA ($2,174) for first place and 500 thousands ($1,087) for the runner

Mr. IKOUE SEVERIN

SEVERIN IKOUE

Severin was born and grew up in Congo. He is married and has kids.

Severin had always dreamed to start his own business, but the

economic situation in the Congo did not allow him to achieve his

goal with a lot of success. In the year 200s Severin created his small

private school and hired couple of teacher to help teach the kids. Still

his lack of entrepreneurial and business management skills stopped

him from moving his school forward.

In Jan 2013 Severin joined Entraide and was selected to be one of

the third generations of Entraide students. He received his training

on entrepreneurship. Right after graduation, another idea was born

in his mind. He wanted to start a unique yogurt business with a

unique packaging. Few months after the training, he set himself to

work and produced the first bottles of his yogurt. The yogurt

received a lot of attention wherever he presented it. Seeing the

success of the yogurt, he decided to call it Energetic Yogurt and a

business of it. However Severin did not have the means to produce

more yogurts and keep up with the demand. Once again he was

stuck with a good product but no production capacity.

At this year NDUENGA Business plan competition 2013, Severin

presented his yogurt business showing results already achieved and

won first place. He was awarded 1 million CFA.

His Plan:

Severin’s plan is to start producing the best yogurt in Brazzaville and

give jobs to many Congolese. “I am so grateful to Entraide and all the

sponsors of Entraide because I won 1,000,000FCFA today. This

amount will definitely help me established my business with other

personal investment.” He said. In summary, he plans to:

- Employee at least 4 more Congolese by the end of the year

2014 to help with production and distribution

- Purchase production equipment to increase the quantity

- Break even between 2 and 3 years

- Provide more jobs and increase his profit.

As a requirement for all winners of our business plan competition,

Severin signed a contract and an agreement with Entraide. The

contract and agreement gives Entraide the right to follow up with

him, mentor him and have access to any critical information related

to his business.
