Support DR Congo Achievements
Our achievements look impressive, and you may think we don’t need your donation. However, 60% of students and patients are either orphans or very poor and do not pay any funds for their education or health care. We are working towards sustainability of hospitals and schools.
Until then, we are in dire need for donations.

Through these efforts, we help provide better healthcare, economic opportunities, and sustainable development for communities in need.
