Our story
Kibuti means family in the Kikongo language.
The Kibuti Association was founded in 1997 to bring together people from Kongo-Central (DRC) living in the National Capital Region of Canada in Ottawa - Gatineau.
However, in 2007, given the needs in the education sector in the DRC, the Kibuti general assembly decided to refocus its programs on helping schools in Kongo Central to provide school equipment and other amenities for the benefit of students, often from disadvantaged social backgrounds.
Our mission
