Welcome to Congo Progress Pulse

Congo Progress Pulse builds and operates off-grid Primary and Secondary institutions in the DRC. We are rooted in education, sustainability, and social justice. We empower communities with finite access to potable water, power, stable nutrition, and learning resources. 
 We are a Canadian-based not-for-profit acting in the Democratic Republic of Congo's underserved communities. 
Most of the cobalt and rare minerals used to power our everyday lives are mined in the Congo. Form Precious stones to batteries and rare wood, the profits from mining activities in the Congo generated war that cost the lives of nearly 10 million men, women, and children. The Congo runs on a low budget and global institution debt relief programs with a GDP per capita of 50 billion USD with a population of 100 million. The average Congolese engaged in the workforce survives on less than $2 per day(us). As a result, the education system in the DRC is one of the poorest on the planet. Our long term intervention will increase the school attendance rate, decrease child labor and promote girls and boys right to adequate schooling. 

Our projects responds to the need of tens of millions of children across the Congo who are in dire need of our support.

Design & Sustainability

Congo Progress Pulse's mission is to serve all children's right to receive a resourceful primary and secondary education in a sane and peaceful environment. One of our missions is to show our students the power of clean energy production by means of solar power system and biogas system. Our school designs aligned with the Congo's most abundant natural resources: Tropical sun, fresh water, and fertile earth. By tapping into the resources of the DRC, our off-grid schools are providing the most essential elements to underserved communities: Potable water, sufficient & efficient energy with a stable but flexible nutrition. Our facilities’ architecture will promote cool ambient in and outdoor temperature with the use clay bricks and organic roofing system. Our road to offer a resourceful education pass by organizing indoor organic farming as a way to offer a sustainable nutrition to our students and staff but also an efficient program to fight mal-nutrition and child mortality.

Social Justice

The existing social condition in the Congo is a result of 500 years of conquest, slavery, civil war, exploitation, colonialism, neo-colonialism, and foreign political interference. Our world today would not be the same without the Congo enslaved people deported to the Americas under the rule of the Kingdom of Portugal, without the victims of rubber extraction under Belgian King Leopold II, and without its uranium extracted during WWII. In the extraction process of wood, oil, gold, diamond, rare metals, etc., millions of children are forced to work in mines to help feed their families or engage in street commerce or join a local militia which perpetuate the system of terror.
