It’s #worldchildrensday and a reminder that every child should have the right and opportunity to go to school, make their voice heard, and share their gifts and talents with the world. Though progress has been made in DR Congo’s education sector, it is still one of the countries with the largest number of out-of-school children (est. 26.7%/3.5 million primary children). On Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3rd) we’re raising resources to support to children’s education at our two primary schools. We hope you will join us! #educationforall #educationmatters #educationispower #Congo #educationchangeseverything
It’s hard to believe, but #givingtuesday is in just two weeks! Mark your calendars for December 3rd and join us as we work to raise $4500 for our primary education programs! We are looking for 15 members to help us reach our goal by creating Facebook fundraisers on Giving Tuesday. Will you help us?
You may have noticed a change in our profile logo. This coming year (on September 8, 2020) Congo Initiative will celebrate 15 years as a registered nonprofit in the United States. CI has boldly responded to what many scholars and activists have considered Congo’s greatest challenge: the lack of ethical leaders who truly serve the common good. Through a dedicated and courageous community of staff, faculty, and volunteers thousands of lives have been positively impacted. But for 15 years, you, our supporters, have helped sustain CI and we want to say THANK YOU! Over the next year we are not only going to celebrate the past 15 years, but encourage and inspire others to join our community and multiply our impact! #15years #congoinitiative #transforminglives #congo

An important account on how a Congolese Doctor, Dr. Jean-Jacques Muyembe, first discovered Ebola but was left out of the narrative until recently. He is a role model, a leader that desires young Congolese scientists to have the opportunity to research, discover, and find solutions in Congo.
"His biggest legacy, he says, won't be that he helped to discover Ebola or a cure for it. It'll be that if another young Congolese scientist finds himself with an interesting blood sample, he'll be able to investigate it right here in Congo."
