Teaching People to Fish for a Lifetime

AusCongo Network Incorporated (ACN) is a grassroots charity registered as a Public Benevolent Institution with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We are endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR).

We redirect remittances into economically sustainable projects — micro-enterprises, social enterprises, and community initiatives — both here in Australia and in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to relieve poverty and build self-sustaining communities.
