Overview

Mission

Having accomplished the goal of implementing a self-sustaining small business & development program in Kamina, Kalemie and Bukama DRC, we ended our formal relationship as of Dec. 26, 2018. We are in the process of notifying the New York State's Attorney General Office of our intent to dissolve the 501c3 which we had hoped would be completed by the end of 2019. We are still in process.

What it reported doing in 2020

For over 16 years members of Kamina Friends US have worked to build relationships with business persons in the Democratic Republic of Congo (primarily Kamina) in order to create a self-sustaining small business development model that would uplift local communities. Over the past 16 years hundreds of jobs have been created as well as countless small business; as small as a woman selling eggs at the local market and as large as a company producing soaps to distribute across the entire Katanga region of the DRC. As of 2017 it was clear the Enterprise Facilitation model of small business development was working without our guidance or support. Kamina Friends US therefore terminates its official business and fundraising relationship with our friends in the DRC but remain supportive through friendship, advice and prayer.
