AusCongo Network is a recognized not-for-profit charity whose sole purpose is the relief of poverty in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congolese people living in Australia and poverty more generally. AusCongo is based in the Australian community and depends upon the support of individuals, businesses and organisations to survive and to continue its vital work.
AusCongo currently has several projects either in operation or close to becoming operational that will lead to substantial improvements in living standards and will lift the participants out of dire poverty. These projects include improving village agriculture, keeping girls in school and improving English language skills for Congolese people living in Australia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
