Who we are
We are a group of citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, former members of the Society of Jesus, entrepreneurs, socio-economic and cultural operators, public and private executives, national and international civil servants, and consultants, spread across every continent.
Convinced that the Democratic Republic of the Congo can and must be rapidly transformed into a modern, credible, just state that flourishes for all its daughters and sons, we are determined to unite our efforts, our skills and our credibility to contribute significantly to this — we call ourselves members of CongoMagis.
