Stand united with BOMOKO to unlock a better and brighter future for the Congo driven by the Congolese.

An estimated 80% of the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo lives below the poverty line. In 2017, the nation’s life expectancy at birth was just 59% and the infant mortality rate was 74 out of 1000 live births.

BOMOKO, United for Congo, develops unique initiatives promoting equal access for all Congolese to high quality health, education and sustainable agriculture solutions. Working for decades in the DRC, BOMOKO unlocks a brighter future for DRC with creative, innovative solutions driven by the Congolese for the Congolese. 

Two-thirds of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s population is under the age of 24, so educating its future leaders is incredibly important. Faced with a severe shortage of teachers in public schools, BOMOKO provides a quality education, training in life skills and mentorship for both children and their parents. BOMOKO operates the Liziba and Bozindo schools, which provide primary through secondary school education and give Congolese children hope for the future. 

Likewise, BOMOKO promotes higher education through the ISSI School of Nursing (Institut Supérieuren Sciences Infirmières), which trains general nurses and those who work in supervisory positions in hospitals across the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

BOMOKO also expands the country’s healthcare capacity though Monkole Hospital. Opened in 1991, Monkole Hospital treats everyone with the same respect and dignity, and it promises equal access to its excellent care services, regardless of wealth or social status. Monkole serves three rural areas in Kinshasa and runs primary healthcare centers in marginalized, inaccessible areas. 

A unique initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo, CEFA (Le Centre de Formation et d’Appui Sanitaire) addresses the pressing need for the continuous education of all medical personnel. CEFA was established in 2001 as a professional and technical framework for medical professionals. It hosts conferences, seminars, round tables and postgraduate courses, as well as practical work and medical research.

Finally, through its agricultural initiative, BOMOKO empowers rural and urban farmers though innovation and modernization of agriculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
