Kasololo M.  

Kasololo, age 23 and eldest of five siblings, lives in a municipality about 30 minutes’ walk from the university.


He is a student in Business Administration and Economics. His father died during his last year of high school. His mother does her best to cultivate a vegetable garden on the side of the main road in her commune for lack of means to acquire better and more suitable land. 

A hardworking young man, Kasololo is highly intelligent and was eager to study at Université Protestante au Congo, specifically for the quality of education. He enrolled without knowing how he was going to finance his studies but on the faith that he would find a way. 


Highly motivated to work hard for the sake of his siblings and widowed mother, Kasololo is a very diligent and conscientious student. He is now in the last year of his university studies thanks to support from Education Congo.


Tingi B.

Tingi is 24 years old and has four younger siblings. She lives in one of the most distant municipalities from the university.


Now a student in her final year of law school, Tingi grew up as an orphan having lost her father and mother. She was taken in and raised by the family of a cousin and separated from her brothers and sisters, who were entrusted to the care of other family members.  

To support her studies and other needs, including transportation, Tingi worked as a waitress in Kinshasa nightclubs. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with nightclubs being forced to close, Tingi no longer had the means to support herself.


Education Congo’s assistance has been an unexpected lifeline for her, enabling her to pursue her dream of contributing to her nation's future as an attorney.
