My Nonprofit Reviews

Congo Education Partners (CEP) does incredible work providing rural Congolese living in the heart of the Congo Basin rainforest, with opportunities to study rural development, forest management, and public health and nursing - opportunities which are unavailable to them anywhere else in the region. I am particularly proud of the commitment CEP has to furthering women's education, and to supporting female professors in furthering their training and developing their careers. I am a passionate supporter of CEP and continue to be amazed by the work they do each year!

I have seen first-hand the ways in which CEP transforms the lives of young people in rural Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). By funding the only accredited higher learning institution in Tshuapa Province (DRC), they provide vital opportunities for learning and employment to rural people seeking to gain qualifications to help them manage their resources and protect their ancestral forests.

I am a socio-cultural anthropologist and have been working with rural communities in the Territory of Djolu since 2013. I was honoured to join the CEP advisory board in late 2017, having witnessed first-hand how their inspiring work at the ISDR Djolu has changed people’s lives throughout the territory.
