    Message from the President

    Thank you for visiting our website. Mahoro is an organization dedicated to peace and social wellbeing of every citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo without discrimination on the basis of ethnic origin.

    The Democratic Republic of Congo has gone through civil war and turmoil for more than fifteen years. The Congo war destroyed social cohesion and it turned some ethnic groups against the others. Political manipulation of ethnic identities has caused hatred among the different ethnic groups of the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu.

    Our organization believes that a lasting peace can only be achieved when all citizens are given equal protection of the law and equal opportunities as well as freedom to exercise their rights without discrimination.

    Mahoro Organization strives to promote in South Kivu a society where peaceful cohabitation is a reality, despite sociological differences. Our cultural and linguistic diversity should be viewed as a source of richness rather than a basis for marginalization or discrimination.

    Again, thank you for visiting us, and come back again.
    Should you have any suggestions, please se our contacts information.
    Mahoro President
