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 1 advanced school, 18 community schools, 15 healthcare centres, and a range of other initiatives. 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.
GoCongo Foundation was established by the owners of GoCongo Enterprises, a leading sustainable agriculture and food import substitution conglomerate in the DRC. The Foundation’s administrative overheads are currently funded by GoCongo Enterprises.
To deliver projects, GoCongo Foundation relies on the generosity of both individual donors as well as corporate or charitable partners. We invite you to consider contributing to our cause. Please find out more about making individual donations or partnering with us.
Established in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2010, GoCongo Foundation is a not-for-profit community development organisation.
GoCongo Foundation is also in the process of registering in the United Kingdom as a Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
