Our purpose and approach

Community leadership

Programs are shaped with local knowledge, trusted relationships and the priorities of the communities involved.

Donations are processed securely through GiveNow, while volunteers and partners have clear ways to participate.


Our story

AusCongo Network was founded in 2008 by Pastor Constantin Mukendi after recognising the need for stronger, more accountable ways for Australians and the Congolese diaspora to support communities in the DRC. The organisation has grown through volunteers, community members, churches, businesses, donors and delivery partners who share a commitment to sustainable, community-led impact.

AusCongo Network is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient. We focus on responsible governance, meaningful partnerships and practical programs.
