As soon as I finish medical school, I plan to return to my home in Ituri Province to treat war refugees who can't afford medical care.

Merveille Bunangana Bokumo is a 3rd-year medical student at Université Protestante au Congo (UPC) with 4 more years to go. We met her during our June 2024 trip to Congo. She said she and her parents especially are grateful for the tuition scholarship from Education Congo. She hopes she will continue to be able to receive tuition assistance to complete her medical studies.
