Our Mission
Congo Peace's mission is to break the chronic cycle of poverty, violence and tribal animosity in the Minembwe region of the DRC by assisting all tribes equally. We provide initial emergency support, and teach vocational and entrepreneurial skills to foster economic opportunity and stability, guided by Christ's reconciling love.
Learn together. Live together.
Our goal is to create a confident new generation of capable leaders with the skills and desire to unify the tribes with a common purpose – prosperity and peace.
Our Vision
Our vision for Minembwe and beyond is filled with hope! We support the creation of a God-filled place where people will live, work, and play together as they learn to forgive and reconcile after decades of tribal conflict.
We support establishing a stable future where people are healthy and safe, and find hope for a sustainable livelihood through training, education, and humanitarian aid.
We strive to support a unified homeland where people live and flourish in Christian harmony and fellowship where displaced persons can return.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called
the children of God.
Matthew 5:9
Minembwe and Bukavu are in the South Kivu province of the DRC on the African continent. They are home to five tribes - Banyamulenge, Babembe, Bafuliru, Banyindu, and Bashi.
The people in the region are trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, violence, and tribal animosity. Militias exploit tribal grievances by offering identity and misguided purpose to the young people of the region.
They need the hope of a better future.
Continued violence and conflict by rebel militias, with little or no intervention from the DRC government have resulted in burned homes, stolen property, injuries and the loss of many lives.
In 2022 we built and opened the Community Center in Minembwe and in 2025 the New Hope Academy, a vocational school and training center in Bukavu.
Congo Peace’s vision is to one day expand to encompass the larger South Kivu region and beyond.
