About the Founder:

When we address the DRC, various fields arise, history, religion, sociology, war, politics, spirituality, ethnicity, psychology, geo-politic. What we tend to realize is that we know what to do but we do not how to do it. As I became aware of this reality it became obvious that Education was the best way to start. School building is the least difficult projects in the Congo because the country is in dire need of resourceful and durable schools. The factors surrounding the funding and operations of such school are favorable to the Congo. As the founder of the Congo Progress Pulse, I intended to bring together the resources of those who want to see a tangible impact from their assistance. The CPP mission is to make off-grid school building the most impactful investment to be made in the Congo.

I was born and raised in the DRC until high school. I traveled to Canada at eighteen where I attended college in Civil Engineering Technology at Humber College (Class of 2015). I have since graduated from college and accumulated work experience as a project coordinator with various respected construction contractors in Greater Toronto Area and in Greater Vancouver Area . On July 20, 2018, I married my gorgeous wife Chanel, with whom I have two children Sahara is almost 5 and Lasana is 2. My mother, now retired, was a trained educator who became director of two schools. My Father, with whom I currently work, runs a contracting business as a structural engineer, consultant, and steel fabricator in the Kinshasa for nearly 31 years.

I am dedicated to raising awareness of the Congolese people. I'm passionate about building technology and wish to apply my knowledge to the progress and peace of my country the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

  Today, my vocation is to use my influence, skills, qualifications, and network to help the children of my country attend an educational establishment that can prepare them for the challenges of our world. The funding of self-reliant and self-sustaining off-the-grid primary and secondary schools in the rural areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be the defining factor in changing the lives of hundreds if not thousands, maybe millions of children who do not have access to potable water, power, and stable nutrition. The primary human rights organizations are acting in the DRC for many different causes: War victim care, refugee care, health care, Education, child labor, forced labor, sexual assault, women's rights, etc. That is why the Congo needs us to provide support.

 What is the Congo? Who profits from the Congo? What are the consequences of war and corruption? How can we help and impact the children of Congo? Do we have a unique role as Canadian citizens, residents, and organizations? 

My business plan show my vision for Congo Progress Pulse pilot project, the factors that conceived it, the route we will take, and, more importantly, the people required to accomplish our mission. Note that the business are subject to change as infield investigation occurs and detailed estimates are determined. Our website will have a new version of the business plan every month.

 I aim to appeal to my Canadian community, our sense of justice, our interest in improving the world, and our compassion. I expect the reader to understand that from my perspective, I have spent 12 years in different regions of Canada where everyone is guaranteed to access knowledge, potable water, and a safe social environment. As a person from the Congo, I find this cause of primordial relevance in this electric era of communication. Our cause can make the world a better place, but making the world a better place takes many hands and many brains, so I need your help. The DRC has impacted the world, and the world in every one of us can move the DRC closer to peace and justice. We wish to inspire and be an example of courage and determination.
