The GoCongo Foundation empowers communities to own their development, by supporting education, health, and more.
The rural interior of the DRC is home to countless vibrant village communities. But they lack the skills and means to advance their wellbeing and prosperity.
We do this through organic, sustainable grassroots human resource development, and by providing schooling, vocational education, healthcare, and more to serve the needs of local communities, in partnership with them.
GoCongo Foundation currently operates numerous education and healthcare initiatives for local populations. These include, but are not limited to, the management and administration of advanced schools, community schools, and healthcare centres in communities situated across the Greater Katanga and Haut-Lomami regions. We seek to continuously improve the quality of all existing facilities, and to create more facilities where there is a need.
We see people in rural communities not as ‘targets for developments’, but as promoters of their own wellbeing.
We believe consultation is essential, and seek communities’ inputs into all our projects.
We believe every person is ‘a mine rich in gems of inestimable value’, and 'education can alone cause it to reveal its treasures'.
We are an organisation committed to accountability, transparency, and social responsibility.
