Albert Lokasola

CEP Partner & Founder of Djolu Technical College
​​Dr. Albert Lotana Lokasola is the founder of Djolu Technical College and the president and founder of Vie Sauvage, a nonprofit Congolese conservation and development organization that manages Djolu Technical College and the Kokolopori Nature Reserve, about 70 kilometers from Djolu.  Officially recognized by the DRC government in May 2009, the Reserve is a high biodiversity wilderness area covering an area about the size of Rhode Island.

As a native of Kokolopori, Albert believes that “the forest, people and wildlife live together and should be protected together.”  Before founding Vie Sauvage, he served as the DRC Secretary General of the Red Cross.  Since 2011, he has also represented Djolu Territory in the DRC Parliament.  His previous academic training is in chemistry and biology, and he received his PhD in ecology from the University of Kisangani in November 2022.

Ingrid Schulze

CEP Founder & Board Member
​Dr. Ingrid Schulze is the founder and a Board Member of Congo Education Partners (CEP). For 17 years, she has worked with Albert Lotana Lokasola on higher education and health projects in Tshuapa Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  

Ingrid believes that local higher education in rural sciences is critical for Congolese young people to develop their communities sustainably and protect their rainforest.  In 2013, she founded CEP as a fiscally sponsored project of Multiplier. In 2006, she founded and, until 2011, led the Kokolopori-Falls Church Sister City Partnership.  The Kokolopori Partnership played a crucial role in the DRC government’s accreditation of Djolu Technical College and in the official recognition of the Kokolopori Bonobo Nature Reserve by the DRC government.  CEP Inc became an independent nonprofit in 2021.
​

Ingrid previously worked as a health statistician at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and raised two children.  She has a PhD in Biochemistry and a Master's in Public Health from the University of Texas.   She is also working on a science fiction novel and loves the great outdoors.
