We want to see Congolese people shine like stars

Our Vision

Focus Congo envisions a peaceful and just Democratic Republic of Congo. We see empowered youth and grassroots leaders transforming their communities. Through education, healthcare, disaster relief, orphan and women's care, and media, they bring lasting change. Everyone deserves access to resources to survive, thrive, and shape a better future. We believe the Congolese people are called to fulfill their God-given destiny.

Our Story

The future of my country is still being written. It’s up to all of us to make sure it’s one of peace.

Our Organization

Focus Congo is a legally registered nonprofit organization with offices in the Democratic Republic of Congo (since 2015), Germany (since 2016), and the United States (since 2024). While each national office operates legally independently, they collaborate closely to advance their shared mission. Focus Congo DRC leads project implementation on the ground, while the offices in Germany and the USA primarily focus on raising support and awareness for the work being done in Eastern DRC.

What We Believe In

Our Values

Listen & Learn

We honor the voices of the Congolese people—recognizing each person as an expert of their own reality. We take time to ask, listen to their stories, and learn, believing that mutual learning is key to creating meaningful change.

Value the individual

We believe every person holds God-given worth and potential. Regardless of how society may view them, we recognize and invest in individuals—honoring their dignity, and creating space for them to confidently pursue their own path. By fostering mutual respect, we empower people to thrive.

Be relational

We work with people, not just for them. At the heart of everything we do is relationship—built on trust, dialogue, and accountability. We believe real change happens through connection, collaboration, and walking alongside one another toward a shared vision of peace and hope in Congo.

Glory to God

We believe that true healing—of both the nation and its people—comes from God. As followers of Christ, we seek to honor Him in all we do, partnering with fellow believers committed to the spiritual revival and restoration of the Congo. We deeply value prayer as a powerful catalyst for lasting peace and transformation.

We Value Integrity, Accountability and Transparency
