Finelbe Foundation: Mission, Vision, and Scope
Mission
The Finelbe Foundation is dedicated to empowering professionals in the mining, inspection, analysis, and smelting industries worldwide through high-quality training, support, and development. Our mission is to bridge the skills gap in these vital sectors by providing cutting-edge educational opportunities, hands-on training, and a platform for continuous professional growth. We aim to foster innovation, safety, and excellence in the industry, while promoting sustainable practices and responsible resource management.
Vision
Our vision is to become a global leader in training and supporting the next generation of professionals in the mining, inspection, analysis, and smelting industries. We strive to enhance the quality and impact of these sectors by equipping individuals with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to excel in their careers. Through our programs, such as the REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory in Kolwezi, DRC, we seek to empower young chemists and professionals with the expertise to drive change and contribute to the sustainable growth of the industry, particularly in developing regions.
Scope
The Finelbe Foundation’s scope spans across a wide range of educational initiatives, training programs, and industry-specific support aimed at professionals within the mining, inspection, analysis, and smelting sectors. Our focus includes both technical and leadership development to ensure that participants gain a well-rounded skill set, enabling them to thrive in a competitive global market.
One of our flagship initiatives is the REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory in Kolwezi, DRC, led by Professor Mimpiya Ngamba. The laboratory serves as an essential training ground for young chemists, providing them with invaluable hands-on experience in chemical analysis and laboratory techniques. This initiative is crucial for the development of future leaders in the mining and smelting industries, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country rich in mineral resources.
However, to maintain the laboratory’s high standards and continue its vital work, we recognize the need for modernization. The laboratory requires significant upgrades and new equipment to keep pace with the latest technological advancements and meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in the sector. By supporting the REHEMA Light Sarlu Laboratory’s modernization efforts, we are committed to providing these future professionals with the tools they need to succeed and make a lasting impact in the industry.
Through partnerships, donations, and collaborations with industry leaders, Finelbe Foundation aims to ensure that our training programs and laboratories remain state-of-the-art, providing an environment where the next generation of industry professionals can flourish.
