Transparency and accountability

We would like to let you take a look behind the scenes

Values

Show appreciation

We show love and appreciation for the people we work with. We are interested in genuine relationships with them and are conscious of discovering and investing in the potential of each individual - regardless of how society views the individual. On the basis of trust and mutual appreciation, we want to empower people to use their potential so that they can act confidently in their own interest. 

Relationship
Life

All our projects and actions are common with people and not only for the people of the Congo. It is important to us that they take their chances into their own hands. We are open to dialogue, criticism, dialogue and accountability because that is the basis for real relationships. We place great value on networking to connect people with each other. Only together can we walk the path to peace in Congo.

Listen
& learn

We consciously take the time to ask questions and listen to those whose voices are not being heard. We recognize that every Congolese person is an expert in their own reality in which they live every day. We are convinced that we can all learn from each other.

God
the honor

As Christians, we believe that it is ultimately God who brings the change and peace we want to see in Congo. We want to partner in our local efforts with real Christians committed to the spiritual revival and reformation of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We value prayer as a driving force for change in Congo.


The story behind Focus Congo

It began one day when our founder Pappy Orion set out on a very long journey as a child... A journey that broke his heart and yet ultimately led to healing, restoration and reconciliation.
