On October 19, 2026, the National Service delivered 2,000 desk-benches to 14 public schools in Mbuji-Mayi, in Kasaï-Oriental, benefiting nearly 7,000 pupils. The schools are spread across three sub-divisions of the Kasaï-Oriental 1 educational province. Made by young builders trained at the Kanyama Kasese centre, the benches are intended to improve learning conditions and address shortages of school furniture. Provincial education director Symphorien Kapita and a pupil representative welcomed the donation at a ceremony held at Kashala Bonzola 1 Primary School.
