Ministry Partners DR Congo

transforming lives in DR Congo

Straddling the Equator, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), is the third largest country in Africa, after Sudan and Algeria. The 61 million inhabitants, comprising 250 ethnic groups speaking 700 local languages, endure one of the world's lowest living standards. War, government corruption, neglected public services and depressed copper and coffee markets are contributing factors.
