The Congo Tree
welcomes you

We’re a youth development organisation that supports young people affected by conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. We believe in developing the skills of young people by providing leadership training, growing their entrepreneurial skills, and supporting their artistic endeavours. The young people we serve are determined to be the change in the communities they call home. All we’re doing is equipping them with the skills and tools they need to crack on.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

The story so far

Our story begins with a chance meeting between two aid workers in Goma. The rest is history.

The WYLD Programme

Our flagship leadership programme provides young people with transferrable life skills, mentorship training and support, and a safe space where they can be themselves.

Be part of the story

The young people we support are changing the story of eastern DR Congo. Will you be part of the story?
