My Nonprofit Reviews

Djolu Technical College (DTC) is the only accredited college that teaches environmental and agricultural science in a remote rainforest region the size of England. I am a long-term donor to CEP and its Congolese partner, DTC. By empowering local people through higher education, DTC is making real progress in protecting the Congo rainforest and developing sustainable livelihoods for rural communities. Donating to CEP is the best way for me to use money to be a force for good.

I've been a CEP donor for many years. CEP has made great strides in the past year, especially in educating women and getting new grants for regenerative agriculture and biodiversity conservation. As a professional who works on climate change mitigation and water quality, I think that Congo Education Partners, through its support for Djolu Technical College, gives a bigger bang for the buck than any other nonprofit I know of.

People in the rich countries are starting to realize that a livable and sustainable Planet Earth requires a healthy Congo rainforest, which in turn requires increased education and empowerment of the local people who live in the rainforest. I volunteer for and donate to Congo Education Partners because it is how my time and resources can make the biggest difference. As a professional who has worked on climate mitigation and water quality with government agencies and non-profits, I can say with confidence that Congo Education Partners, through its unwavering support for Djolu Technical College, gives a bigger bang for the buck than any other project or program I’ve been involved in. Please join us as a volunteer and/or donor to grow the work of Djolu Technical College and its development model to match the scale of the challenges.

I am a donor to Congo Education Partners because I’ve seen how Djolu Technical College is changing people’s lives for the better while helping to protect the Congo rainforest and the planet. I feel like I get a better payoff from my donations to CEP than from any other nonprofit I contribute to.
