Supporting local higher education to help build stronger communities and preserve the Congo rainforest 


Take a virtual journey to Djolu with Congolese filmmaker Pappy Orion and hear students and staff at Djolu Technical College speak from the heart about what the school means to them - and you can see the difference your support makes!
​At Congo Education Partners, we know that successful long-term rainforest conservation hinges on community engagement and leadership.
​We work with dedicated professors in the heart of the Congo Basin rainforest to provide higher education and training, so local students can become professionals, leaders, and active stewards of the rainforest.
