“Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.”
                                                        - Nelson Mandela, 1995

EduCongo is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enhance and improve the quality of lives by raising the level and access of education for children of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The six-year civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has gravely worsened the wellbeing and livelihood of children throughout the country and has claimed over 3 million Congolese lives. Today, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), over 5.2 million Congolese children of school age, including 400,000 internally displaced children, receive no education, and for those children that do attend school, the quality of education is very poor due to the instability and extreme poverty.

At EduCongo, we believe every child deserves a quality education in hopes of reaching and achieving his or her full potential. To provide quality education for all children, EduCongo relies on global citizens like you with personal interest in a better tomorrow for Africa and her children.
